This was a presentation I gave to an audience at Nature Publishing Group in New York on May 7th 2009. It's a long presentation and over an hour in length. Not much new here relative to other presentations...just a knitting together of many of the others on here.
There is an increasing availability of free and open access resources for scientists to use on the internet. Coupled with an increasing number of Open Source software programs we are in the middle of a revolution in data availability and tools to manipulate these data. ChemSpider is a free access website built with the intention of providing a structure centric community for chemists. As an aggregator of chemistry related information from many sources, at present over 21.5 million unique chemical entities from over 190 separate data sources, ChemSpider has taken on the task of both robotically and manually integrating and curating publicly available data sources. ChemSpider has also provided an environment for users to deposit, curate and annotate chemistry-related information. This has allowed the community to enhance ChemSpider by adding analytical data, associating synthetic pathways and publications and connecting to social networking resources. I will discuss how ChemSpider is fast becoming the premier curated platform and centralized hub for resourcing information about chemical entities and how the platform provides the foundation data for services allowing the analysis of analytical data and collaborative science.RSC ChemSpider – Building An Internet Based Community For Chemists

ChemSpider was developed with the intention of aggregating and indexing available sources of chemical structures and their associated information into a single searchable repository and making it available to everybody, at no charge. There are many tens of chemical structure databases such as literature data, chemical vendor catalogs, molecular properties, environmental data, toxicity data, analytical data etc. and no single way to search across them. Despite the diversity of databases available online their inherent quality, accuracy and completeness is lacking in many regards. ChemSpider was established to provide a platform whereby the chemistry community could contribute to cleaning up the data, improving the quality of data online and expanding the information available to include data such as reaction syntheses, analytical data and experimental properties. ChemSpider has now grown into a database of over 20 million chemical substances integrated with over 300 disparate data sources, many of these directly supporting the Life Sciences. This presentation will provide an overview of our efforts to improve the quality of data online, to provide a foundation for the semantic web for chemistry and to provide access to a set online tools and services to support access to these data.

The internet now offers access to a myriad of online resources that can be of value to chemists working in the Life Sciences. While finding information online is, in many cases, a simple search away, the accuracy and validity of the associated data and information should be questioned. As more databases and resources are introduced online, and commonly not integrated to other resources, a scientist must perform multiple searches and then undertake the task of meshing and merging data. ChemSpider is a freely accessible online database that has taken on the challenge of meshing together distributed resources across the internet to provide a structure-based hub. It is a crowdsourcing environment hosting over 26 million unique compounds linked out to over 400 data sources. With well defined programming interfaces for integration ChemSpider has been integrated to many commercial and open software packages and is presently serving as the chemistry foundation for the IMI Open PHACTS project.

ChemSpider has enabled real time curation of the data, association of analytical data with chemical structures, real-time deposition of single or batch chemical structures (including with activity data) and transaction-based predictions of physicochemical data. The social community aspects of the system demonstrate the potential of this approach. Curation of the data continues daily and thousands of edits and depositions by members of the community have dramatically improved the quality of the data relative to other public resources for chemistry.
This presentation will provide an overview of the history of ChemSpider, the present capabilities of the platform and how it can become one of the primary foundations of the semantic web for chemistry. It will also discuss some of the present projects underway since the acquisition of ChemSpider by the Royal Society of Chemistry.

The Internet is the world’s publicly accessible container for a myriad of resources containing chemistry related data. Whether it be collections of millions of chemical compounds with their associated properties, interactive displays for analytical data, access to publications and patents or tapping into the increasing availability of online computational engines, the web has became the primary enabling technology to source information and data. Scientists collectively applaud and utilize the availability of such resources and an increasing proportion of the community are willing to support these resources by contributing both their data and skills to help curate and validate information on the web. This “crowdsourcing” has started to contribute large amounts of data to the commons and serves has a valuable platform for reference and, potentially, discovery.
ChemSpider is one of the chemistry community’s primary online resources and allows scientists to search across 25 million unique chemical compounds linked out to over 400 original data sources and has become a central hub for searching for chemistry-related data. The platform however offers much more to the community and has become a central repository for analytical data, specifically spectra, is a host for community-authored chemical syntheses and facilitates data curation and annotation by any of its users. This presentation will provide an overview of the ChemSpider platform in terms of available data and its efforts to act as a public repository and clearing ground for data curation. We will discuss how such a platform, when coupled with game-based approaches, facilitates both teaching and data validation and will discuss whether public domain resources such as ChemSpider will ultimately become authorities for chemistry.

The increasing availability of free and open access resources for scientists on the internet presents us with a revolution in data availability. The Royal Society of Chemistry hosts ChemSpider, a free access website for chemists built with the intention of building community for chemists (http://www.chemspider.com/).
ChemSpider is an aggregator of chemistry related information, at present over 20 million unique chemical entities linked out to over 300 separate data sources, ChemSpider has taken on the task of both robotically and manually curating publicly available data sources. It is also a public deposition platform where chemists can deposit their own data including novel structures, analytical data, synthesis procedures and host data associated with the growing activities associated with Open Notebook Science.
This presentation will examine chemistry on the internet, the dubious quality of what is available and how the ChemSpider crowdsourced curation platform is fast becoming one of the centralized hubs for resourcing information about chemical entities.
We will also review our efforts to provide free resources for synthesis procedures, spectral data and structure-based searching of the chemistry literature and how chemists can contribute directly to each of these projects.

The increasing availability of free and open access resources for scientists on the internet presents us with a revolution in data availability. However, freedom costs and in many cases the cost is quality. ChemSpider is a free access website for chemists built with the intention of providing a structure centric community for chemists. As an aggregator of chemistry related information from many sources, at present over 21.5 million unique chemical entities from over 150 separate data sources, ChemSpider has taken on the task of both robotically and manually curating publicly available data sources. This presentation will provide an overview of how a curated platform can become the centralized hub for resourcing information about chemical entities. We will also present ChemMantis, an entity extraction platform for extracting chemical names and scientific terms in documents and providing a platform for structure-based searching of Open Access chemistry literature.Navigating the Complex Web of Chemistry Using ChemSpider
Navigating the Complex Web of Chemistry Using ChemSpiderUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
The internet has revolutionized the sharing of data and information and in the domain of chemistry there are many resources available to help with our research. In recent years various online resources have been introduced that allow users to access information, properties and data associated with chemical entities. At a time when CAS has declared that they now have over 50 million unique chemical entities in the registry the number of chemical structures distributed across the internet also measures in the tens of millions. There are many tens of databases on the internet hosting chemical structures associated with data focused on the specific nature of the collection – metabolic pathways, spectral data collections, chemical vendor collections, biological assay data and crystal structures are examples. Unfortunately there has been no single way to search across all of these resources. ChemSpider has taken on the task of integrating the multiple online resources of information into a single database using the chemical structure as the primary key and retaining the link out and attribution to the original datasource. In this manner ChemSpider intends to become a structure-centric hub for the chemistry community. This talk will provide an overview of the ChemSpider platform, how it is being used as a crowdsourcing platform for community-based curation of the data and the future vision of ChemSpider as one of the pillars of the semantic web of chemistry.Hosting a compound centric community resource for chemistry data

Laboratories around the world continue to generate immense amounts of data that are non-proprietary and of value to the community. If available these data could dramatically reduce costs by minimizing rework and ultimately facilitating faster research. High quality reference data collections of chemical compound dictionaries, properties and spectra have been generated over many decades. With the advent of social networking tools and platforms such as Wikipedia, the community has an opportunity to contribute. The ChemSpider platform hosted by the Royal Society of Chemistry is a compound centric database with associated data. Already populated with almost 25 million unique compounds the community can deposit and host their own data, and curate and annotate existing data including those generated in Open Notebook Science Efforts. This presentation will provide an overview of progress to date and outline the vision of this community platform for chemistry and ensuring the longevity of chemistry reference data.

ChemSpider hosting linking and curating chemistry data for the communityUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
The Internet is the world’s publicly accessible container for a myriad of resources containing chemistry related data. Whether it be collections of millions of chemical compounds with their associated properties, interactive displays for analytical data, access to publications and patents or tapping into the increasing availability of online computational engines, the web has became the primary enabling technology to source information and data. Scientists collectively applaud and utilize the availability of such resources and an increasing proportion of the community are willing to support these resources by contributing both their data and skills to help curate and validate information on the web. This “crowdsourcing” has started to contribute large amounts of data to the commons and serves has a valuable platform for reference and, potentially, discovery.
ChemSpider is one of the chemistry community’s primary online resources and allows scientists to search across 25 million unique chemical compounds linked out to over 400 original data sources and has become a central hub for searching for chemistry-related data. The platform however offers much more to the community and has become a central repository for analytical data, specifically spectra, is a host for community-authored chemical syntheses and facilitates data curation and annotation by any of its users. This presentation will provide an overview of the ChemSpider platform in terms of available data and its efforts to act as a public repository and clearing ground for data curation. We will discuss how such a platform, when coupled with game-based approaches, facilitates both teaching and data validation and will discuss whether public domain resources such as ChemSpider will ultimately become authorities for chemistry.

The increasing availability of free and open access resources for scientists on the internet presents us with a revolution in data availability. The Royal Society of Chemistry hosts ChemSpider, a free access website for chemists built with the intention of building community for chemists (http://www.chemspider.com/).
ChemSpider is an aggregator of chemistry related information, at present over 20 million unique chemical entities linked out to over 300 separate data sources, ChemSpider has taken on the task of both robotically and manually curating publicly available data sources. It is also a public deposition platform where chemists can deposit their own data including novel structures, analytical data, synthesis procedures and host data associated with the growing activities associated with Open Notebook Science.
This presentation will examine chemistry on the internet, the dubious quality of what is available and how the ChemSpider crowdsourced curation platform is fast becoming one of the centralized hubs for resourcing information about chemical entities.
We will also review our efforts to provide free resources for synthesis procedures, spectral data and structure-based searching of the chemistry literature and how chemists can contribute directly to each of these projects.

The increasing availability of free and open access resources for scientists on the internet presents us with a revolution in data availability. However, freedom costs and in many cases the cost is quality. ChemSpider is a free access website for chemists built with the intention of providing a structure centric community for chemists. As an aggregator of chemistry related information from many sources, at present over 21.5 million unique chemical entities from over 150 separate data sources, ChemSpider has taken on the task of both robotically and manually curating publicly available data sources. This presentation will provide an overview of how a curated platform can become the centralized hub for resourcing information about chemical entities. We will also present ChemMantis, an entity extraction platform for extracting chemical names and scientific terms in documents and providing a platform for structure-based searching of Open Access chemistry literature.Navigating the Complex Web of Chemistry Using ChemSpider
Navigating the Complex Web of Chemistry Using ChemSpiderUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
The internet has revolutionized the sharing of data and information and in the domain of chemistry there are many resources available to help with our research. In recent years various online resources have been introduced that allow users to access information, properties and data associated with chemical entities. At a time when CAS has declared that they now have over 50 million unique chemical entities in the registry the number of chemical structures distributed across the internet also measures in the tens of millions. There are many tens of databases on the internet hosting chemical structures associated with data focused on the specific nature of the collection – metabolic pathways, spectral data collections, chemical vendor collections, biological assay data and crystal structures are examples. Unfortunately there has been no single way to search across all of these resources. ChemSpider has taken on the task of integrating the multiple online resources of information into a single database using the chemical structure as the primary key and retaining the link out and attribution to the original datasource. In this manner ChemSpider intends to become a structure-centric hub for the chemistry community. This talk will provide an overview of the ChemSpider platform, how it is being used as a crowdsourcing platform for community-based curation of the data and the future vision of ChemSpider as one of the pillars of the semantic web of chemistry.Hosting a compound centric community resource for chemistry data

Laboratories around the world continue to generate immense amounts of data that are non-proprietary and of value to the community. If available these data could dramatically reduce costs by minimizing rework and ultimately facilitating faster research. High quality reference data collections of chemical compound dictionaries, properties and spectra have been generated over many decades. With the advent of social networking tools and platforms such as Wikipedia, the community has an opportunity to contribute. The ChemSpider platform hosted by the Royal Society of Chemistry is a compound centric database with associated data. Already populated with almost 25 million unique compounds the community can deposit and host their own data, and curate and annotate existing data including those generated in Open Notebook Science Efforts. This presentation will provide an overview of progress to date and outline the vision of this community platform for chemistry and ensuring the longevity of chemistry reference data.

ChemSpider was developed with the intention of aggregating and indexing available sources of chemical structures and their associated information into a single searchable repository and making it available to everybody, at no charge. There are many tens of chemical structure databases such as literature data, chemical vendor catalogs, molecular properties, environmental data, toxicity data, analytical data etc. and no single way to search across them. Despite the diversity of databases available online their inherent quality, accuracy and completeness is lacking in many regards. ChemSpider was established to provide a platform whereby the chemistry community could contribute to cleaning up the data, improving the quality of data online and expanding the information available to include data such as reaction syntheses, analytical data and experimental properties. ChemSpider has now grown into a database of well over 20 million chemical substances integrated with over 300 disparate data sources, many of these directly supporting the Life Sciences. This presentation will provide an overview of our efforts to improve the quality of data online, to provide a foundation for the semantic web for chemistry and to provide access to a set online tools and services to support access to these data. I will also discuss how ChemSpider is being used to enhance Semantic Publishing in Chemistry at RSC. What's hot (19)

Thermal Design And Performance Of Two Phase Meso Scale Heat Exchanger
Dramatically increased power dissipation in electronic and electro-optic devices has prompted the development of advanced thermal management approaches to replace
conventional air cooling using extended surfaces. One such approach is Pumped Liquid Refrigerant Cooling (PLRC), in
which a refrigerant is evaporated in a cold plate in contact with the devices to be cooled. Heat is then rejected in an air or
water-cooled condenser and the working fluid is returned to the cold plate.

How the web has weaved a web of interlinked chemistry data finalUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
The internet has provided access to unprecedented quantities of data. In the domain of chemistry specifically over the past decade the web has become populated with tens of millions of chemical structures and related properties of assays together with tens of thousands of spectra and syntheses. The data have, to a large extent, remained disparate and disconnected. In recent years with the wave of Web 2.0 participation any chemist can contribute to both the sharing and validation of chemistry-related data whether it be via Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia, or one of the multiple public compound databases. The presentation will offer a perspective of what is available today, our experiences of building a public compound database to link together the internet and a suggested path forward for enabling even greater integration and connectivity for chemistry data for the masses to both use and participate in developing.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
