VHP4Safety Compound Wiki: an open science approach to collect domain specific knowledge

Poster at the International Conference on Chemical Structures, 2025, Noordwijkerhout/NL. Abstract: Collecting chemical structures is an old science. Datasets large and small are released routinely, with both open and closed licenses. Publishing these dedicated databases, however, remains a time-consuming task, often warranting a standalone research article. This work demonstrates a low-cost, open science, and scalable approach to collecting chemical structure data through a crowdsourced, continuously evolving model, providing sufficient FAIR-ness and enabling automation of much of the data curation and management. We previously presented how Wikidata stores information for around 1.5 million chemicals, and here we introduce the VHP4Safety Compound Wiki (compoundcloud.wikibase.cloud, see Figure 1), which complements Wikidata using the Wikibase software underlying Wikidata to support project-specific data.
