On symmetry classes of crystal structures.
An open-ended classification scheme for crystal structures based on Wyckoff sets and affine normalizer groups is proposed. It is free of metrical and geometrical considerations. All structures of one structure type belong to the same symmetry class. An application is given for the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (version 2, 2007).
