A Century of Structures: Historical Fidelity and Computational Fitness in the ICSD

Of 464 ICSD structures from 1913 to 1929, the vast majority are structurally sound, but a small number carry genuine topological errors whose corrective information exists in the database yet is invisible to automated queries. Six machine-readable fitness-for-purpose flags, populable from existing tools without modifying any historical record, would bring ICSD into line with the quality metadata already provided by the CSD and the ICDD Powder Diffraction File.
