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

v1.0 release

Two major web services: Create and Browse. ioChem-BD software comes to fill the gap between chemical data generation and its publication on papers, journals, and other digital media.

This new tool uses latest standards in data manipulation, curation, discovery and presentation. Not only speeding and leveraging tedious tasks such as data analysis and generation of SI.

Features:

Available services
- Create - Private use only. It allows data curation, manipulation in the form of reports and HTML5 summaries, and publishing to Browse module
- Browse - Intended for public access of all content published from Create module. Users can browse, subscribe and share content
- CAS - Central Authentication Service to manage login/logout current services from a centralized point
Supported computational packages:
- ADF
- Gaussian
- Turbomole
- VASP
Two user report types:
- Supporting information, classical PDF files
- Spin state energies for transition metal complexes

Data managed in a hierarchical manner: Projects/Calculations in Create, Community/Collection/Item in Browse

ioChem-BD services can be feed from two different sources:

Create Web UI: from your web browser you can upload calculations and manage project elements
Create Shell Client: A Linux shell app with +12 commands to manage and batch upload large number of files (fully scriptable)

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
