TI  - The Powder Diffraction File: present and future.
PG  - 325-32
AB  - The International Centre for Diffraction Data (ICDD) produces the Powder 
      Diffraction File (PDF). This paper discusses some of the seminal events in the 
      history of producing this primary reference for powder diffraction. Recent key 
      events that center on collaborative initiatives have led to an enormous jump in 
      entry population for the PDF. Collective efforts to editorialize the PDF are 
      ongoing and provide enormous added value to the file. Recently, the ICDD has 
      created a new series of the PDF, designated PDF-4. These relational database 
      structures are being used to house the PDF of the future. The design and benefits 
      of the PDF-4 are described.
