NMRShiftDB allows contribution after sign-up. The CAS registry database is closed for submission (or?), as it is indexed from literature.<BR/><BR/>So, following these thoughts, SORD is 'open', because chemists can opt in to submit their thesis.<BR/><BR/>Suggestions on a better term? 'Free submission'? 'Public submission'?<BR/><BR/>Yes, would be great to meet up. I don't have time, nor funding, to go to Salt Lake...

Very necessary. <BR/><BR/>The business model, while not inappropriate, will mean that the majority of academic users will NOT have access to the data unless they contribute. So those academics will ave to be one of the groups that "pay". SORD are likely to get criticized for this.<BR/><BR/>You commented "the topic of this series is 'open submission', not 'open access'." and I'm trying to clarify what that is? What is the definition of Open Submission? Open Data and Open Access are confusing enough but I'd like to start using this term for some things I'd like to discuss so it would be good to agree on a definition. For my needs I'd like it "the ability to submit data to an online database" but this is very loose and doesn't address licenses at all and the term "Open" is generally about licenses.<BR/><BR/>ChemSpider today can host experimental data regarding reactions and allows Free access to anyone to search and the data are Open if declared as such. If the articles are from Open Access articles then they are Open by default. <BR/><BR/>One thing we do NOT support yet is reaction searching. We do have the ability in ChemMantis to declare every chemical as a reactant, product, catalyst, solvent etc and this will be useful for searching papers in the future but it is not reaction searching.<BR/><BR/>"would need to ask Dick more clearly what they would do if they were offered Open Data... would that never enter the database, or like with ChemSpider." It would be good if Open Data would be freely accessible but that will be a nightmare to manage. It WOULD mean, I believe, that data extracted from Open Access papers should be freely available BUT SORD would be re-purposing and creating a derivative work so would not need to make it freely available. CAS do this already when they index Open Access papers...the structures and abstracts etc are Open Access but closed when indexed. It's a complex environment...<BR/><BR/>GREAT discussion Egon..would love to continue it over a coffee sometime...maybe in Salt Lake City?ChemSpidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619309311131629965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-23504506954811349402009-02-08T07:59:00.000+01:002009-02-08T07:59:00.000+01:00Regarding SORD: you are correct.

Industry and others pay.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the topic of this series is 'open submission', not 'open access'. I added the license column because that is my personal interest, but the question was, where can I host experimental data; SORD is such a database.<BR/><BR/>Maybe 'proprietary' as most permissive license would be better, but would need to ask Dick more clearly what they would do if they were offered Open Data... would that never enter the database, or like with ChemSpider.Egon Willighagenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470952136305035540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-11992597598734424092009-02-08T01:39:00.000+01:002009-02-08T01:39:00.000+01:00You commented "need for a particular license, jour...You commented "need for a particular license, journal preferences on deposition locations, scope of the database, ".<BR/><BR/>1) Licenses - we ca provide the ability to keep data private if necessary, to provide it as Open Data if users wish and to stamp with different types of CC licenses if necessary. My judgment...the majority of users don't care.<BR/><BR/>2) "journal preferences on deposition locations" I think you mean will certain journals support the deposition in CHemSpider. For example, relative to CAS registry? I haven't seen any discussion where journals would not support deposition in ChemSpider but it would be great to start one up. All publishers who have talked with me directly support what CHemSPider is doing<BR/><BR/>3) Scope of the database - this is easy...we're focused on small molecules, primarily organic in nature. If people want to manage their data associated with such datatypes then ChemSpider is ready to help. Again, people just have to step forward and ask what we can do to help. What J is blogging about is easy for us to support. What we are missing right now is SAMPLE centric workflows rather than structure centric.<BR/><BR/>I agree about your thought about making MPs searchable. I commented on that in my comment "I acknowledge that we actually need the MP in the supplementary info section and have it searchable." We've discussed RDF'ing a number of times and don't have it yet as we are too busy with other things. There are lists of functionality that the users are asking for and RDF is way down the list still. <BR/><BR/>In terms of stats regarding experimental data the spectra are all here www.chemspider.com/spectra.aspx (880 spectra in total). There are probably 10,000 structures with measured experimental data (mp, bp etc). I'll be adding the non-aqueous solubility data from the ONS Solubility project as time allows.ChemSpidermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619309311131629965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-12792819137086167152009-02-08T01:26:00.000+01:002009-02-08T01:26:00.000+01:00You listed SORD as one potential database and put ...You listed SORD as one potential database and put a question mark against the license.

Antony, maybe you can summarize some statistics on the types (and amount of, in terms of number of molecules with...) experimental data there is in ChemSpider?<BR/><BR/>One thing that is going to be important is how data can be searched. We need to be able to ask for all chemical compounds which are within a certain melting point range. This is why I have been so interesting in RDF frontend to ChemSpider, which provides a clean API to do such things.Egon Willighagenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470952136305035540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17889588.post-31771609740734798632009-02-07T07:02:00.000+01:002009-02-07T07:02:00.000+01:00Why not just throw ALL the information you are tal...Why not just throw ALL the information you are talking about onto ChemSpider.
