New Features:

• 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. In a first step, the information be used to enable a search for the coordination of a central atom. This coordination can then also be represented visually.

Key Features:

• Enhanced search functionality: easy to use and intuitive search interface.
• New and extended information about ICSD including complete Help information.
• Easy analysis of large and complex data sets.
• Simple and powerful query management: load, modify, save and combine queries.
• Personalization/User Profiles for IP access based accounts.
• Visualization of single or multiple crystal structures.
• Generation of simulated powder patterns.
• Content selection (inorganic, metal-organic or theoretical structures).
• Inclusion of abstracts.
• Keywords providing information on Material properties, applications, and methodology.
• Structure types as a sophisticated calssification scheme.
• Interactive exploration of atomic environments.
• Customizable display of search results.
