Sanford,
There is a list of ' Spectral and Separations Databases' under ' Physical
Properties, Spectra, etc.' at
http://www.chembiogrid.org/related/resources/databases.html
The list is not very long (certainly not thousands, more like 9!), and I think
you have most of these covered already, but it might serve to show your
reviewer that these spectral databases

Subject: [Blueobelisk-discuss] Is there really something like Red Hen outthere?
All - Just got my NSF reviewers feedback from our recent attempt, and gosh be
darn, two of the reviewers seem to think that there are "tens of thousands of
efforts":
The proposal suggests a new platform (SPECIAL) for this purpose. A few
successful distributed efforts are cited (e.g., wikipedia, [EMAIL PROTECTED]),
but the tens of thousands of efforts that did not result in superstar success
are not mentioned. There is no reason to believe that this proposal would
result in a universal standard being adopted over all current efforts. And
there is no evidence of past success at this type of project.
Any idea of ones besides NMRShiftDB (which we cite), IS-DB, SDBS and NIST. Am I
forgetting any? Are their other efforts that focus on spectral collection that
is not corporate driven? And then:
The system does not seem particularly unique. There are many community review
systems available both in the scientific community, and in the digital
community in general. A number of current NSDL Digital library projects are set
up to have some degree of community peer review, for example the Merlot project
comes to mind.
Merlot is about peer reviewing content for teaching, not using skilled chemists
to evaluate others spectra. And, the system is dead on with what we are doing -
and we have added a few twists. Are their others out there I am not aware of?
Can you offer any insights? Thanks! Sanford
