Over the last few years we have seen a tremendous growth in various data repositories pushed and supported by funding bodies and various data preservation initiatives. As a result we have now a variety of scientific resources, combined into a broad network and indexed through the directories like BioSharing and re3data. Such network, while growing quickly, is still in early days of adopting semantic web standards and does not yet support deep data indexing and discoverability, leave alone that mechanisms of intellectual properties protection are as simple as making data public or private at best. The lack of standards and well defined models to describe a scientific information structure even further inhibits free information flow which is essential for scientific discovery. One of the most affected areas is not surprisingly materials sciences where due to the inherent complexity of the field of study the situation is even more severe. In this talk we present a chemistry information platform designed to support a variety of data formats along with metadata, sophisticated ways of collaboration and secure data exchanges. We will discuss challenges that we have faced developing such platform as well as solutions that we have came with.
