Definition:
A code which identifies a cluster of atoms that show long-range positional disorder but are locally ordered. Within each such cluster of atoms, _atom_site.disorder_group is used to identify the sites that are simultaneously occupied. This field is only needed if there is more than one cluster of disordered atoms showing independent local order. *** This data item would not in general be used in a macromolecular data block. ***
Type: code
Mandatory item: no
