This is a presentation given to a group of students at the UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy. As chemists many of us want to resource information that is high quality, accurate and addresses our query. With the increasing proliferation of online chemistry resources it is very common for us to turn to these resources to source data. However, are resources such as Wikipedia, PubChem and the plethora of databases delivering information for metabolism, medicinal chemistry and synthetic chemistry trustworthy? Which of these resources, if any, should be treated as authorities? What is the most integrated approach to resource chemistry related data online? What approaches can be taken to validate the data that is available and how can individual scientists participate in helping to improve the content and quality of chemistry related data on the web. Antony Williams is ChemSpiderman. He started the ChemSpider database (www.chemspider.com) as a hobby to deliver a free platform for the community to source chemistry related data. Within three years the system was acquired by the Royal Society of Chemistry and now serves up close to 25 million chemical structures linked to over 400 data sources across the internet and offers individual scientists the opportunity to host and share their data with the community and to participate in data curation and annotation. Tony will share his experiences of building this chemistry database with a focus on data validation and curation and sourcing high quality data. During the presentation he will discuss ways to check chemical structure representations before submission to public systems for searching and provide an overview of chemical identifiers such as SMILES strings and the International Chemical Identifier (InChI) allows for the interlinking of resources. Attendees can expect to leave the session with a deeper understanding of utilizing the internet to resource chemistry related data.
