ICSD web version 5.0.0 released

The ICSD web version 5.0.0 is now online.

This version contains the following changes/additions:

• We have continued the standardisation of mineral names. In addition, links to the mineral databases "webmineral.com" and "mindat.org" have been added for mineral entries in ICSD, allowing further information on the minerals to be obtained.
• We have now also included the hierarchical classification for a large part of the minerals. This can be used to easily find minerals in the same hierarchical level (or below).
• We are very happy to announce that we have topological information available for about half of the inorganic structures in ICSD. This had been possible through a cooperation with the team around Prof. Blatov who had been developing ToposPro - a program for the comprehensive analysis of geometric and topological properties of periodic structures. In a first step, the information from this will be used to enable a search for the coordination of a central atom. This coordination can then also be represented visually. In later extensions, search options for the topological properties will also be added.
• In addition, there have been a lot of technical updates and modernisations.
