Publication: The Chemical Validation and Standardization Platform (CVSP): large-scale automated validation of chemical structure datasets

On June 19, 2015, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: The Chemical Validation and Standardization Platform (CVSP): large-scale automated validation of chemical structure datasets

There are presently hundreds of online databases hosting millions of chemical compounds and associated data. As a result of the number of cheminformatics software tools that can be used to produce the data, subtle differences between the various cheminformatics platforms, as well as the naivety of the software users, there…

Publication: Scientific Lenses to Support Multiple Views over Linked Chemistry Data

When are two entries about a small molecule in different datasets the same? If they have the same drug name, chemical structure, or some other criteria? The choice depends upon the application to which the data will be put. However, existing Linked Data approaches provide a single global view over…
