Data in a Scientific Publication This is not new, you known the story… So much data of value contained within a publication and delivered in a PDF form PDF files, and especially unclear licensing, don’t allow me at the data so I can rework, reuse, repurpose, text mine etc. I specialize in XXXX. I want a database of YYYY extracted from publications and made available, for free, with capabilities I need, and the publishers should just do it
And over the years, progress… There is much progress with open access, data access, licensing, enhanced articles, open data, free online tools, open source codes, publishers waking up, scientists contributing We should be excited at what is available now, what the future holds, what opportunities exist in front of us
But it’s not easy…US Not everything we would like around data handling is there for sure Many systems, tools, platforms are already available but we don’t know about them or even if we did contributing us “more work” “What’s in it for me?”, “It’s my data”, “It’s too much work”, “What credit do I get?”
An Initial “Vague” Vision Set Manage “all” of the chemistry data associated with chemical substances Data to be downloadable, reusable, interactive Build a platform that enables the scientist Data storage, validation, standardization and curation Collaborative data sharing Provide data platform that can enable and enhance publishing of scientific papers
Data Repository Registration of chemical compounds Deposition of chemical syntheses Addition of analytical data Integration to electronic notebooks Rewards and recognition for data sharing Document processing Hosting of data as private, embargoed or public
I hate text mining data DERA: Developing pipelining tools for text-mining so we will be able to process documents for mark-up Compound extraction/markup Reaction extraction/conversion Convert “text spectra” to generate spectral libraries… AGGHHHHH!
“Where is the real data please?” FIGURE DATA
Data Preferences - total bias Views of a spectroscopist Give me the data – interactive, downloadable spectrum is way more valuable to me (processed spectrum and FID available) Spectral header in JCAMP standard is very incomplete (and most spectral standards) I want ASSIGNED/ANNOTATED spectra if possible – don’t “textify” a spectrum!
Solving the problem here.. Binary file formats are problematic – think of the variations in instrumentation and software Standards can be defined – are they correctly implemented? CIF and its Checking, Spectral standards - JCAMP versions, Structure formats, etc… Metadata is crucial
…and what does it solve? “Fixing the data” – data can’t be faked as easily Reprocessing of analytical data can be done…weighting functions, baseline correction, deconvolution etc. I can convert and store it locally
But solve it for many things I want molecules as structure formats not images Please don’t make us hack tables of data Tell us how you generated your files – software version, software libraries, etc.
Addition of Analytical Data Spectral Container is in development using componentized widgets for display NIST spectra converted into standardized JCAMP format for deposition - 296,103 spectra deposited 10% of remaining NIST spectra need to be curated as there are obvious structure issues
Electronic Notebook Data Development work integrating chemistry into the Southampton Labtrove notebook Stoichiometry table development Analytical data integration “ChemTrove” rolled out to a small test group in January
Present activities – ACS Fall Deposition process development of compounds, reactions and spectral data by Spring FTP, DropBox, Web-upload, ELN integration Compounds, Reactions, Spectral data search, display, download Data sharing – private, public, collaborative Metadata, metadata, metadata standards! Open Sourcing CRD and CVSP
