Description:
Wikipedia provides individual data pages for over 20,000 chemicals, making it a ubiquitous resource for open chemical information. Its collaborative community model introduces unique opportunities and challenges for the reuse of that information. Our new effort to comprehensively harvest the chemical space on Wikipedia, integrating automated, semi-automated, and human data extraction processes, has provided a structured dataset for comparison and reuse across sources. We discuss previous such efforts and expansions on their processes; correlate this dataset with other open resources; and analyze the derived data in relation to those resources. This abstract does not necessarily represent the views or policies of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
