Neighboring information universes
A non-comprehensive list of information universes:
- Chemical literature - document-oriented informatics
- Chemical databases - our core: catalogs, registries, properties
- Reaction databases - transformations
- Polymer data - important information which is poorly-organized
- Process chemistry - large databases for few reactions
- Materials data - typically lots data for few substances
- LIMS data - Laboratory Information Management Systems
- Spectral data - generally used with LIMS-oriented systems
- Combinatorial libraries - super-specialized representations
- Hedonics data - e.g., taste and fragrance data
- Natural products - both molecular and goop
- Computational results - a cache for computational services
- Modeling data- not currently database oriented, but could be
- Chemical patents - a DMZ between legal and chemical universes
- Crystallographic data - small vs. large molecules
- Bioinformatics and Genomics data - primarily sequence-oriented data
