Data Import and Validation in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database.
In the following paper the input procedures for the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD) will be outlined. The input flow of the data is explained. Since the data have been excerpted from journal articles a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature is presented. The types of data and the form in which they are recorded are discussed. Finally, illustrations are given of the importance of data checking and the data checking procedures are described in detail.
