[CODATA-international] Video record of the IUCr DDDWG Metadata Workshop

[Geoffrey Stuart Boulton]

Dear Brian

Many thanks for this, and congratulations on an excellent piece of work. It could be useful if we could use your work in an exemplary fashion for others. I will discuss this with Simon and we might then have a dialogue with you.


All good wishes

Geoffrey
