DICT-OBJ-FILE
A Class Library of mmCIF Access Tools

The DICT-OBJ-FILE class library was developed by the PDB in order to provide an object view of the mmCIF dictionary via "dictionary object file" class. A dictionary object file is a container of dictionary objects. Each dictionary object, in turn, is a container of its attributes and of objects of type: item, sub-category and category. Each of those three types of objects is a container of relevant attributes for that object type. The class is capable of creating all the objects from the dictionary file, verifying the dictionary against the DDL, writing the objects to the persistent storage file, reading the objects from the persistent storage file and accessing attributes of each object type. Example applications included in the library show how to perform all these operations.
