The impressive thing is that it has complete references for all data and also concentrates on error estimation.
Even if you aren’t a chemist, have a look as it’s an ideal exemplar of how data should be organised. The webbook has many thousands of entries for compounds. Part of this role is to support US commerce through these activities. NIST are a US government agency whose role is – in large part – to produce standards (data, specs) for resources in science and engineering. It was the first, and for some time the only, openly accessible chemistry resource on the web (outside bio-stuff like PDB). PMR: Many of us have known the NIST webbook for many years. NIST is in the process of setting up an arrangement with the Open Access Chemistry Central folks to do this and I wanted to see if you also would be willing to cooperate/collaborate as well. In addition, the spectra would also go into the NIST mass spec database to add to the existing database they provide. The WebBook is Open Data which is where the spectra would go first/initially. The question I have for you is would you be willing to post something on your blog suggesting it would be useful for people to donate their EI MS to the NIST folks. I am helping the NIST folks get additional GC/MS EI (electron impact only) mass spectral for their WebBook and mass spec database. I had a wonderful mail this morning from Steve Heller …
