Chemie.DE focusses on setting up databases, retrievable by intelligent and
chemistry-oriented search tools, for the following topics:
- list of chemistry information servers with description of their main
topics and some quality estimation;
- meta index of all chemistry-related Internet documents with
classification on several attributes, e.g., `contents', `chemical topic',
`language', `creation date' - there are also ranking schemes available;
- software descriptions, both public domain (PD) and commercial, with
links to vendors, authors, distributors, mailing lists - most relevant PD
software products are held on the project's file server;
- calendar of German and international conferences, workshops,
meetings, and exhibitions;
- collection of job offers and applications;
- database of chemical companies and their product lines.
In addition, search tools, in particular for 2D and 3D molecular structures,
will have to be developed. Small, specialized data bases (hazardous substances,
thesauri for technical terms, molecular structures, occupational safety, waste
disposal) shall be offered.
