Alex -
Thank you for this - this is perfect in terms of listing. There was an
older one I saw at the Univ of Texas - but this is terrific.
Very much appreciated.

Sanford,
*There is a list of 'Spectral and Separations Databases' under 'Physical
Properties, Spectra, etc.' at *

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 an independent survey could only come up with a small
number.
Good luck!
Alex

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
