The ChemSpider compound database is a free online database provided to the community by the Royal Society of Chemistry. The database is an aggregator of information from online resources as well as a host of data extracted from RSC scientific articles. Over the past five years over 26 million chemicals together with a diverse array of associated data has been deposited. The online database is open to community deposition, annotation and curation and, as a result, has expanded into a rich resource to contribute to a semantic web of chemistry. ChemSpider provides access to its data via web services and as RDF. ChemSpider provides the chemistry services supporting the Open PHACTS project, a semantic project serving the Life Sciences community to facilitate the linking of chemical-biology data and enable drug discovery. This presentation will provide an overview of our contributions to the semantic web.
