Proposed activity and effect on infrastructure

Technical activity

  • Set up site, including choice and installation of appropriate pre-existing MediaWiki extensions
  • Incorporation of an extension to allow display of .mol files
  • Incorporation of an extension to allow searching by structure (at first, this would be a simple search on exact structure matches: greater functionality would then be developed)
  • Development of an extension to support (and, if possible include semi-automatically) CML markup
  • Development of extensions to support and facilitate Open Laboratory Notebooks
  • Preparation of usage statistics

Technical-content activity

  • Choice of supported filetypes and MediaWiki "namespaces"
  • Ensuring correct procedures for the labelling of contributed content with its correct copyright license
  • Development of automated and semi-automated methods for the validation and correction of certain content
  • Development of methods to ensure the machine-readability of content at the minimum effort for the contributor
