    "description": "A human- and machine-readable string containing the short Hermann-Mauguin (H-M) symbol which specifies the space group of the structure in the response.\n\n**Requirements/Conventions**:\n\n- The H-M symbol SHOULD aim to convey the closest representation of the symmetry information that can be specified using the short format used in the International Tables for Crystallography vol. A (IUCr, 2005), Table 4.3.2.1 as described in the accompanying text.\n- The symbol MAY be a non-standard short H-M symbol.\n- The H-M symbol does not unambiguously communicate the axis, cell, and origin choice, and the given symbol SHOULD NOT be amended to convey this information.\n- To encode as character strings, the following adaptations MUST be made when representing H-M symbols given in their typesetted form:\n\n    - the overbar above the numbers MUST be changed to the minus sign in front of the digit (e.g. `-2`);\n    - subscripts that denote screw axes are written as digits immediately after the axis designator without a space (e.g. `P 32`);\n    - the space group generators MUST be separated by a single space (e.g. `P 21 21 2`);\n    - there MUST be no spaces in the space group generator designation (i.e. use `P 21/m`, not the `P 21 / m`);\n\n**Bibliographic References**\n\n- IUCr (2005).
