Science: Databases: ChemSpider Wins 'Most Innovative Software' Award and Two SLA Presentations About ChemSpider

The very popular ChemSpider database and community is now an award winning web resource.

ChemSpider, the Royal Society of Chemistry's online chemistry community and database, scooped the Innovative Software Award at the iExpo/KM Forum 2010.

[Clip]

Presented by Didier Benard, from Sanofi Aventis R & D, the award recognises a non-commercial initiative in enhancing information online whether for the professional community or for the general public. The jury selected ChemSpider as an award winner for providing free access to data on chemical information (both text and structure-based), which is reliable and controlled by an international expert community.

ChemSpider links together compound information across the web, providing free text and structure search access of millions of chemical structures. With an abundance of additional property information, tools to curate and use the data, and integration to a multitude of other online services, ChemSpider is the richest single source of structure-based chemistry information available online.
