Impact/Purpose:
Presentation to the American Chemical Society (ACS) Spring 2021 National Meeting April 2021. Chemical safety decisions and management can be hindered by the lack of ready-access to the ever-expanding array of data, tools, and models that are relevant to the analyses. Even though many chemical safety resources are available, it may not be clear how the various sources of information might be combined in targeted, efficient workflows to address their specific questions. Furthermore, the use of information from traditionally separate data sources is time-consuming and complex. OCSPP, OLEM, OW, Regions, States, and Tribes have indicated research needs in chemical curation and informatics. This product provides regulatory scientists, students and researchers with the ability to effectively access and exploit the many in silico data streams to support different regulatory purposes and supports current Agency efforts to reduce mammal study requests by 30% by 2025, and completely eliminate all mammal study requests and funding by 2035.
Description:
Open resources from authoritative sources are a key driver of open data quality. The recentrelaunch of CAS Common Chemistry, which expands the resource to include nearly 500,000 substances fromCAS REGISTRY® and offers this content for community use under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, offers a unique opportunity to boost the accuracy of open chemicalinformation. In this talk, the authors will highlight work done to date to leverage the expanded resource inenhancing data quality across open resources, including Wikipedia and Wikidata.
