Hi Ed,
The PDB accession code will be based on the primary data stored in the
PDB. Therefore depositors will need to make a new deposition with new
PDB accession code issued if the atomic coordinates are modified using
newly processed intensities from the original diffraction images.
More details on the procedure will be made available at a later date.
Regards,
Jasmine

Couple of wuestions:
What is the procedure for updating an entry? Start a new submission,
or mail revised coordinates along with an explanation of changes to
deposit@rcsb?
"unchanged experimental data" - does this mean the exact same
structure factors, or will newly reduced data from the same original
diffraction images be acceptable?
Thanks,
Ed

The wwPDB is planning to introduce in 2017 a new procedure for the
management by the Depositor of Record (where the Depositor of Record
is defined as the Principal Investigator for the entry) of
substantial revisions to previously released PDB archival entries.
At present, revised atomic coordinates for an existing released PDB
entry are assigned a new accession code, and the prior entry is
obsoleted. This long-standing wwPDB policy had the unintended
consequence of breaking connections with publications and usage of
the prior set of atomic coordinates, resulting in a non-trivial
barrier to submission of atomic coordinate revisions by our
Depositors of Record.
The wwPDB is introducing a file versioning system that allows
Depositors of Record to update their own previously released entries.
Please note, in the first phase, file versioning will be applied to
the atomic coordinates refined versus unchanged experimental data.
Version numbers of each PDB archive entry will be designated using a
#-# identifier. The first digit specifies the major version, and the
second designates the minor version. The Structure of Record (i.e.,
the initial set of released atomic coordinates) is designated as
Version 1-0. Thereafter, the major version digit is incremented with
each substantial revision of a given entry (e.g., Version 2-0, when
the atomic coordinates are replaced for the first time by the
Depositor of Record). “Major version changes” are defined as updates
to the atomic coordinates, polymer sequence(s), and/or chemical
identify of a ligand. All other changes are defined as “minor
changes”. When a major change is made, the minor version number is
reset to 0 (e.g., 1-0 to 1-1 to 2-0). For the avoidance of doubt, the
wwPDB will retain all major versions with the latest minor versions
of an entry within the PDB archive.
Current wwPDB policies governing the deposition of independently
refined structures based on the data generated by a research group or
laboratory separate from that of the Depositor of Record remain
unchanged. Versioning of atomic coordinates will be strictly limited
to substitutions made by the Depositor of Record.
Upon introduction of the file versioning system, the wwPDB will
revise each PDB accession code by extending its length and prepending
“PDB” (e.g., "1abc" will become "pdb_00001abc"). This process will
enable text mining detection of PDB entries in the published
literature and allow for more informative and transparent delivery of
revised data files. For example, the atomic coordinates for the
second major version of PDB entry 1abc would have the following form
under the new file-naming schema:
pdb_00001abc_xyz_v2-0.cif.gz
The wwPDB is mindful of the importance of continuity in providing
services and supporting User activities. For as long as practicable,
the wwPDB will continue assigning PDB codes that can be truncated
losslessly to the current four-character style. In the same spirit,
initial implementation of entry file versioning will appear in a new,
parallel branch of the PDB archive FTP tree. More details on the new
FTP tree organization and accessibility of version information will
be forthcoming. Data files in the current archive location
ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/structures/ will continue to use the
familiar naming style and will contain the latest version in the
corresponding versioned archive.
