Utilizing Chem Spider As A Platform For Exposing Student Data To The Community

Utilizing ChemSpider as a Platform for Education and Exposure of Student Data to the Community Antony J. Williams and Valery Tkachenko ChemSpider, Royal Society of Chemistry, info@chemspider.com Introduction Deposition of Data Annotation and Curation of Data Functionality and Capabilities ChemSpider is a free structure-centric ChemSpider is a deposition platform for With data being aggregated from ChemSpider has unsurpassed database for the chemists. While offering rich chemistry related data that students may be multiple data sources errors can find capabilities and functionality which can resources of data for students to utilize in their generating in their lab work or in their their way onto the database. With enable students to learn about research and studies it also offers them a research . For example, they can submit almost 25 million structures and tens of searching for data, dealing with the unique opportunity to participate in the world new chemical compounds, add reaction associated pieces of data associated complexities of sourcing information of Web 2.0 chemistry. By providing a platform synthesis details or upload spectral data. In with each record only with community from multiple sources and learning how for data deposition, annotation and curation order to deposit data students need to be participation will the data be improved. to use the expanding network of students around the world can help build a registered users of the system and set This is the classical Wikipedia model of internet-based resources in their work. resource for the entire chemistry community. themselves or their laboratory up as a “data requesting community support and The system presently allows: source”. participation for the benefit of all.
