\n

This is taking place<\/a> in the idyllic surroundings of the Niederwald forest, R\u00fcdesheim, Germany. Here I highlight only aspects of the first three talks.<\/p>\n

Martin Hicks introduced the conference with concepts such as the global public good<\/em>. In the area of open access, he reminded us of the terms Platinum\/Diamond open access, which are journals with no article processing charges (which can reach \u00a35000 per article for some other OA journals), but which go with the\u00a0challenge of ensuring that more gatekeepers of this global public good are needed to avoid being overwhelmed. He ended by asking us all to consider what\u00a0\u00a0the unit of knowledge is that needs to be shared.<\/p>\n

The first talk was by\u00a0<\/b>Klaus Tochtermann who (amongst other topics) brought to our attention the Dutch GoFAIR initiative<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0in the European Open Science Cloud, sub-divided into Go-train (i.e.<\/em> data experts, who will build e.g.<\/em> metadata tools) and\u00a0Go-build (eco-systems: Internet of FAIR data and FAIR services). I think the message is that all organisations with chemistry labs should consider this as being an essential part of their future infrastructures.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Frey’s title was\u00a0Reducing Uncertainty: The Raison d\u2019\u00catre for Open Science <\/em>who defined the fundamental principles of open science as transparency, capability and obtainability and encouraged data publication at source (as opposed to e.g.<\/em> PhD writing up period) to ensure fidelity in the capture of metadata.<\/p>\n

The team of Leah McEwen, Ian Bruno, Stuart Chalk and Richard Kidd told us about\u00a0Global Data Initiatives and Chemistry<\/em> and the need for social and technical bridges to enable open data sharing. I learnt for example that the IUPAC Gold book of chemical terms and definitions now has DOIs for each of the terms. Thus chemical shift<\/em> (DOI:\u00a010.1351\/goldbook.C01036<\/a>[1]<\/a><\/span>),\u00a0spectroscopy<\/em> (DOI:\u00a010.1351\/goldbook.S05848<\/a>[2]<\/a><\/span>) and\u00a0electron density function<\/em> (DOI:\u00a010.1351\/goldbook.ET07024<\/a>[3]<\/a><\/span>). I will now to associate such links with e.g.<\/em> deposited NMR data to help increase the semantics of the data (see e.g.<\/em> DOI:\u00a010.14469\/hpc\/1975<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Finally, a photo from the region, taken from the gondola adjacent to\u00a0the venue and riding down to the small town on the banks of the Rhine.<\/p>\n
