Reports from a quest for quality and silence: The Marriott Metro Center in Washington, DC
October 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Open Science
I’ve decided to merge my two blogs which, so far, I wanted to keep separate because of their potentially different readership. But now I think that they are just two connected aspects of my life and, hey, a weblog should report about exactly this. Within certain boundaries, of course .
So, while Steinblog was about [...]

Web chemistry components in JavaScript
October 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Open Science
Colleague Noel O’Boyle has already reported it: There is now an open collection of javascript-based chemistry components for the web, called ChemDoodle, released under GPL license by iChemLabs, inc. The stuff looks really neat.
The collection comprises viewers, an editor, a look-up component (try entering accession numbers such as “1″, “2″ or “3″ (you get the [...]

What do we expect from a chemical structure editor applet?
July 11th, 2009 · 4 Comments · ChEBI, Chemistry Development Kit, Chemoinformatics, JChemPaint, Open Science, Open Source, Scientific Culture
My team at the EBI maintains a couple of databases [1,2,3] dealing with various aspects of (bio-) organic chemistry. All of them need chemical structure editor applets where users can specify queries for substructure searches and which are used by our curators for data entry.The development of these databases is funded by the European Union [...]

Open Data goes Mainstream
July 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Open Science
My favorite German computer magzine C’t has an extensive 8-page article about open science and open data (”Rip – Mix – Publish” ). Peter Murray-Rust is cited and so is Jean-Claude Bradley. The article also speaks about the German National Library of Science and Technology’s (TIB) project to DOI-tag data. In this context: Together [...]
