Some 2.5 years ago Finn Nielsen started Scholia. I have been blogging about it a few times, and thanks to Finn, Lane Rasberry, and Daniel Mietchen, we were awarded a grant by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to continue working on it (grant: G-2019-11458). I'll tweet more about how it fits the infrastructure to support our core research lines, but for now just want to mention that we published the full proposal in RIO Journal.

Oh, just as a teaser and clickbait, here's one of the use cases.

A bit over a week I attended LIPID MAPS Working Group meeting in Cambridge, as I have become member of the Working Group 2: Tools and Technical Committee in autumn. That followed a fruitful effort by Eoin Fahy to make several LIPID MAPS pathways available in WikiPathways (see this Lipids Portal), e.g. the Omega-3/Omega-6 FA synthesis pathway. It was a great pleasure to attend the meeting, meet everyone, and I learned a lot about the internals of the LIPID MAPS project.

The US EPA published a paper recently about the CompTox Chemistry Dashboard (doi:10.1186/s13321-017-0247-6). Some time ago I worked with Antony Williams and we proposed a matching Wikidata identifier. When it was accepted, I used a InChIKey-DSSTOX identifier mapping data sets by Antony (doi:10.6084/M9.FIGSHARE.3578313.V1) to populate Wikidata with links. Overtime, when more InChIKeys were found in Wikidata, I would use this script to add additional mappings.

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!
