The Royal Society of Chemistry provides open access to data associated with tens of millions of chemical compounds. The richness and complexity of the data has continued to expand dramatically and the original vision for providing an integrated hub for structure-centric data has been delivered across the world to hundreds of thousands of users. With an intention of expanding the reach to cover more diverse aspects of chemistry-related data including compounds, reactions and analytical data, to name just a few data-types, we are in the process delivering a Chemistry Data Repository. The data repository will manage the challenges of associated metadata, the various levels of required security (private, shared and public) and exposing the data as appropriate using semantic web technologies. Ultimately this platform will become the host for all chemicals, reactions and analytical data contained within RSC publications and specifically supplementary information. This presentation will report on the challenges of managing “Big Data” for chemists around the world and providing access to tools for structure dereplication, spectral database searching and the crowdsourcing of the worlds’ largest spectral database.
