The spectra-chem project is an open source development focussed on the software created by the SPECTRa project and the SPECTRa-T project. The theme of both projects is chemistry data. Whilst SPECTRa looked at facilitating deposition of various kinds of chemistry data in repositories, SPECTRa-T is looking at extraction of ontological metadata and chemical data objects (molecules, NMR spectra, data tables) from doctoral theses.
The aim of the spectra-chem project is to promote continuing access, development and support for the tools developed under the SPECTRa project, and to act as the central site for collaborative development under the SPECTRa-T project.
