PDBj FTP Archive reorganization

Coinciding with the release of our updated PDBj Mine service on May 27 2021, we also released a new PDBj data archive at data.pdbj.org, thus we have a total of three archives together with ftp.pdbj.org and ftp-versioned.pdbj.org.

From September 1st 2021, our ftp and ftp-versioned archives will be reorganized as follows: 　　

(1) ftp.pdbj.org	wwPDB common area for /pub (i.e., pdb and emdb) only (same as wwPDB's and RCSB's core FTP archive)
(2) ftp-versioned.pdbj.org	The same as before, this only contains the versioned PDB data
(3) data.pdbj.org	This contains both (1) and (2), and additionally contains PDBj generated content and data for PDBj's other archives (no changes since its release)

With this reorganization, for users that obtain data other than the core wwPDB data from (1) (i.e. other than /pub), please switch over to our new data archive (data.pdbj.org). For users that only use the core wwPDB data archive, the reorganization will have no effect. Please also see our help page about the archive contents for more information about the organization of our new data archive.

In addition, from September 1st 2021, the PDBMLadd files (PDBj generated data stored in XML format) will no longer be available. The mmJSON version of the data will still be available at our data archive and via the Mine 2 RDB, and we recommend users of this data to transition to this more modern format.

If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact us.
