Cookbook Contribution Types

Stuart Chalk edited this page Jan 22, 2024 · 1 revision

The Cookbook is intended to be a resource for the chemistry community where different types of users, working at the interface of chemistry and chemical data, can find resources to help them make their data more FAIR. This can be achieved in many ways and users can come from many perspectives.

Therefore, the scope of the Cookbook is quite broad and needs to serve diverse communities of users. This document delineates the different types of content (recipes) that are a part of Cookbook. Please look at the information below so you can get a sense of where your contribution fits.

Tools and Web Services

Recipes in this section highlight online cheminformatics tools and web services that data researchers in the chemical sciences should know about. Material includes brief explanations, tutorials and demos of what can be done, and indicate scenarios where the tool might be used to manipulate machine-readable chemical data - both by humans and machines.

Data Sources

Recipes in this section review accessible online sources of reliable FAIR chemical data, including research data repositories and other aggregated sources. Materials include brief descriptions of content and available documentation, and provide tutorials and demos of API protocols for searching and retrieving various types of data.

Data Manipulations

FAIR data are Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable by both humans and machines and “Fully AI-Ready”. The recipes in this section demonstrate atomized workflows for specific tasks related to managing machine-readable chemical data. Interactive examples are included as demonstrations that can be copied and executed through a Jupyter notebook or other Python based code.

Use Cases and Web Services

Entries in this section demonstrate the application of multiple workflow stages (tasks) to address specific use cases for preparing or reusing FAIR data.
