I finally got around to updating my homepage. Not entirely done yet, but it was overdue.

Linking RDF to cheminformatics and proteochemometrics from Egon Willighagen

Acknowledgements to Samuel and Annzi, two great students!

Less than a week left before the three ACS RDF 2010 sessions! I am both nervous and excited! We really got a great team of speakers together. As a final call for people still not sure if they want to attend, I sent out a few emails. On Monday, we are competing with the big JCIM 50th anniversary, but really, that it's 50 years of old cheminformatics, where our session is about the next 50 year.

A while ago I asked on StackOverflow about options to specify unit test dependencies. An example from the CDK would be that aromaticity detection in some molecule would require that all atom types are correctly perceived. I could test both in separate unit tests, but with JUnit I cannot have the aromaticity test ignored of the atom typing already failed.

I have blogged about two Molecular Chemometrics principles so far:

McPrinciple #1: access to data McPrinciple #2: be clear in what you mean Peter's post #solo10: Green Chain Reaction; where to store the data? DSR? IR? BioTorrent, OKF or ??? gives me enough basis to write up a third principle:

Molecular Chemometrics Principles #3: We make scientific progress if we build on past achievements.

I noted earlier this week that [d]uring the week [in Oxford], someone (name and address is know at the editorial office) commented on the fact that my blog posts are somewhat difficult to follow; that is, it's often not clear why I am posting what I am posting. This triggered the start of a series of principles in the field I coined Molecular Chemometrics, and the promise that I will try to indicate in each blog post to which of these principles it relates.

Steffen asked me if I could also provide a few examples on how to actually put RDF triples in the HTML, as the template I gave yesterday is a mere empty canvas to draw the triples on. There are actually various examples in my blog, which I will summarize here.

Before I start, I like to put some emphasize on the following RDFa pattern. An RDF resource that serves as subject is always mapped to a HTML element. This can be a div element, but also other elements, as we will see in the example.

There was some more discussion on machine readability of notebooks again, something I have blogged about for a long time now.

One technical approach to implement the idea of adding semantic to text in HTML pages is RDFa. But with any technology, scientists seems to have an in-built deficiency of thinking clearly, and anything beyond being able to format your bibliography with the correct bold and italic seems to be a bit much asked.

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
