Over the last few years we have seen a tremendous growth in various chemical databases. 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. <br/>In this talk we will share our experience spanning through decades of building chemical databases like PubChem, ChemSpider, OpenPHACTS and National Database Services and will outline fundametnal problems associated with chemical databases as such as well as data quality and approaches for the modern architecture of the large-scale chemical databases.
