Featured technologies

XML-CML

The Chemical Markup Language (CML) is used as the only internal data format. No unformatted nor style information is stored, just raw XML data ready to be further processed.

Jumbo-converters

ioChem-BD takes advantage of our own text-parsing library to convert data from plain text calculations files into CML. We use the same semantics as Jumbo-converters library but more efficiently.

Easy to Customize

With little programming knowledge (jumbo-converters, XSLT) users can customize new file types, define new data to be captured and how it should be visualized, add metadata, and much more.

Create module

Web Service/DesktopApp oriented to handle and manage your files in a daily basis

Features:

Private storage area
Compact and intuitive interface design
Visualization tools
Graph/chart generation,i.e., Reaction Energy Profiles, Orbitals, Spectra, etc ...
Search by keywords, chemical substructure and metadata
REST API interface enables remote interaction and processes automation

Linux shell

A Linux shell client activates specific commands that enable interacting with the Create module from the command line.

This tool is specially crafted to manage long unattended data operations by using simple shell scripts.

Browse module

DSpace based Repository for publishing data generated by the Create module

Features:

DOIs and permanent storage for your published datasets
Plain navigation across datasets collections
Accessible end-points to third-party connectors REST API, RDF, OAI-PMH
Facilitates content syndication, data replication and data harvesting

Because everyone should have their own ioChem-BD!

Connect your instance to the central service:

Fill this form if you want your local iochem-BD instance to synchronize its public content to our central service.
Benefits:
- DOI identifiers : Your instance will be able to request DOIs for your published datasets, free of charge.
- High availability : Your public data will be also synchronized in the BSC MareNostrum HPC cluster and available 24/7
- Long term storage and recovery : If your instance discontinues its service (it ceases to operate, a data failure occurs etc) a copy of your data will be kept under a harvestable public web service.
- And don't forget that you will also contribute to building the largest distributed database of computational chemistry and material science results.
If you want to use only the ioChem-BD instance hosted at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center node (BSC-CNS) as an individuali user, please fill this other form.
If you have any other question please contact us.

About

ioChem-BD

is a digital repository aimed to manage and store Computational Chemistry files.
comes to fill the gap between results generation and manuscripts publication, and raise data to 5* quality
was created by the fusion of previous projects:

Developed at Institute of Chemical Research of Catalonia

Developed at Universitat Rovira i Virgili

Goals:

Build a distributed database of computational chemistry results: reduce size and increase value.
Set a common data standard among all quantum chemistry legacy formats (XML - CML)
Become a daily tool in data management, search and manipulation
Redefine workflows: store results and publishing, open-data
Be open to add future functionalities for data manipulation and analysis
