RSC ChemSpider -- Managing and Integrating Chemistry on the Internet to Build...US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
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.

Hosting public domain chemicals data online for the community – the challenge...US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
The Royal Society of Chemistry hosts one of the worlds’ richest collections of online chemistry data that is free-to-access for the community. ChemSpider presently hosts over 30 million unique chemical compounds together with associated data and accessible via a number of search techniques. With almost 50,000 unique users per day from around the world the site offers scientists the ability to investigate the world of small molecules via property searches, analytical data and predictive models. The challenges associated with providing a similar platform for “materials” are manifold but, if they could be addressed, would offer a valuable service to the materials community. This presentation will provide an overview of how ChemSpider was built, our efforts to expand the capabilities to a more encompassing data repository and some of the challenges faced to embrace the diverse world of materials informatics and online data access.How the web has weaved a web of interlinked chemistry data final
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.

The Possibilities and Pitfalls of Internet-Based Chemical Data US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
In less than a decade the internet has provided us access to enormous quantities of chemistry data. Chemists have embraced the web as a rich source of data and knowledge. However, all that glisters is not gold and while online searches can now provide us access to information associated with many tens of millions of chemicals, can allow us to traverse patents, publications and public domain databases the promise of high quality data on the web needs to be tempered with caution.
In recent years the crowdsourcing approach to developing curated content has been growing. Can such approaches allow us to bring to bear the collective wisdom of the crowd to validate and enhance the availability of trusted chemistry data online or are algorithms likely to be more powerful in terms of validating data? While it is now possible to search the web using a query language form natural to chemists – that of “structure searching the web” - increasingly scientists are likely going to have to accept joint responsibility for the quality of data online for the foreseeable future. Their participation is likely to come through engaging in open science, the provision of data under open licenses and by offering their skills to the community.
This presentation will provide an overview of the present state of chemistry data online, the challenges and risks of managing and accessing data in the wild and how an internet for chemistry continues to expand in scope and possibilities.

The expansive reach of ChemSpider as a resource for the chemistry communityUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
Our access to scientific information has changed in ways that were hardly imagined even by the early pioneers of the internet. The immense quantities of data and the array of tools available to search and analyze online content continues to expand while the pace of change does not appear to be slowing. ChemSpider is one of the chemistry community’s primary online public compound databases. Containing tens of millions of chemical compounds and its associated data ChemSpider serves data tens of thousands of chemists every day and it serves as the foundation for many important international projects to integrate chemistry and biology data, facilitate drug discovery efforts and help to identify new chemicals from under the ocean. This presentation will provide an overview of the expanding reach of the ChemSpider platform and the nature of the solutions that it helps to enable. We will also discuss the possibilities it offers in the domain of crowdsourcing and open data sharing. The future of scientific information and communication will be underpinned by these efforts, influenced by increasing participation from the scientific community and facilitated collaboration and ultimately accelerate scientific progress.How SADI & SHARE help restore the Scientific Method to in silico science
This is my presentation to the Bio Open Source Convention (BOSC) in Boston, July 2010. I start with a brief status-update on the BioMoby project and then launch into a series of demonstrations of it's successor - SADI + SHARE. Rather than discussing how SADI/SHARE work, I focus the discussion on what role I think these technologies can play in bringing the traditional "scientific method" back into in silico biology.

Cheminformatics and the Structure Elucidation of Natural ProductsUS Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure
The structure elucidation of natural product structures from analytical data, specifically NMR and MS, remains a major challenge. With an enormous palette of NMR experiments to choose from, and supported by breakthrough technologies in hardware, the generation of high quality data to enable even the most complex of natural product structures to be determined is no longer the major hurdle. The challenge is in the analysis of the data. We are in a new era in terms of approaches to structure elucidation: one where computers, databases, and a synergy between scientists and algorithms can offer an accelerated path forward. Software tools are capable of digesting spectroscopic data to elucidate extremely complex natural products. Scientists can now elucidate chemical structures utilizing multinuclear chemical shift data, correlation data from an array of 2D NMR experiments and utilize existing data sets for the purpose of dereplication and computer-assisted structure elucidation. With the explosion of online data especially, in public databases such as PubChem and ChemSpider, many tens of millions of chemical structures are available to seed fragment databases to include in the elucidation process. This presentation will provide an overview of how cheminformatics and chemical databases have been brought together to assist in the identification of natural products. It will include an examination of the state-of-the-art developments in Computer-Assisted Structure Elucidation. Reproducible method and benchmarking publishing for the data (and evidence) d...

The Royal Society of Chemistry hosts one of the largest online chemistry databases containing almost 30 million unique chemical structures. The database, ChemSpider, provides the underpinning for a series of eScience projects allowing for the integration of chemical compounds with our archive of scientific publications, the delivery of a reaction database containing millions of reactions as well as a chemical validation and standardization platform developed to help improve the quality of structural representations on the internet. The InChI has been a fundamental part of each of our projects and has been pivotal in our support of international projects such as the Open PHACTS semantic web project integrating chemistry and biology data and the PharmaSea project focused on identifying novel chemical components from the ocean with the intention of identifying new antibiotics. This presentation will provide an overview of the importance of InChI in the development of many of our eScience platforms and how we have used it specifically in the ChemSpider project to provide integration across hundreds of websites and chemistry databases across the web. We will discuss how we are now expanding our efforts to develop a Global Chemistry Network encompassing efforts in Open Source Drug Discovery and the support of data management for neglected diseases.Automatic Extraction of Knowledge from Biomedical literature

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. I will also discuss how ChemSpider is being used to enhance Semantic Publishing in Chemistry at RSC.

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.

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.ChemSpider hosting linking and curating chemistry data for the community
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.

There is an increasing availability of free and open access resources for chemists to use on the internet. Coupled with the increasing availability of Open Source software tools we are in the middle of a revolution in data availability and tools to manipulate these data. ChemSpider is a free access website for chemists built with the intention of providing a structure centric community for chemists. It 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 tens if not hundreds 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 fact that there were a large number of databases containing chemical compounds and data available online their inherent quality, accuracy and completeness was lacking in many regards. The intention with ChemSpider was 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, experimental properties and linking to other valuable resources. It has grown into a resource containing over 21 million unique chemical structures from over 200 data sources.
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.

With an intention to provide a free internet resource of chemistry related data for the community, ChemSpider provides an online database of chemical compounds, reaction syntheses and related data. Members of the community can contribute to the database via the deposition of chemical structures, synthesis procedures and analytical data. Data are also aggregated from many other depositors, at present over 400 data sources. The aggregation of data associated with over 25 million chemical compounds does not come without data quality issues. By engaging the community to curate the data the quality continues to improve on a daily basis. The presentation will provide an overview of our ongoing efforts to expand and curate the database. Using a combination of game-based and recognition systems as well as our dependence on societal giveaway by the community ChemSpider continues its path to become a high quality resource and foundation for the semantic web for chemistry.Connecting Chemistry Across the Internet Using ChemSpider

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:

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.
