Abstract
E-science or cyberinfrastructure have become crucial
for scientific progress and open source systems have
greatly facilitated design and implementation. In
chemistry, the growth of data has been explosive and
timely and effective information and data access is critical
[Atkins 2003, Hey 2006]. Many have argued that
cyberinfrastructures for science are domain sensitive
[Snow 2006] and many have been proposed. We have
proposed and are developing the ChemXSeer architecture,
a portal for academic researchers in environmental
chemistry, which integrates the scientific literature with
experimental, analytical and simulation datasets.
ChemXSeer will be comprised of information crawled
from the web, manual submission of scientific documents
and user submitted datasets, as well as scientific
documents and metadata provided by major publishers.
Information crawled by ChemXSeer from the web and
user submitted data will be publicly accessible whereas
access to publisher resources can be provided by linking
to their respective sites. Thus, instead of being a fully
open search engine and repository, ChemXSeer will be a
hybrid one, limiting access to some resources.
