ioChem-BD - The Computational Chemistry Results Repository
Central service
Connected nodes
Collections available
Items indexed
Find service
The Central Point of our network of repositories
Features:
- Fed by ioChem-BD distributed nodes whenever a new item is published
- Advanced indexing of chemical data and metadata
- Very fast search engine implemented over Apache Solr and RDKit frameworks
- Search by chemical substructure similarity, chemical elements or any text term
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.
IP / DNS name field
According to this, such server will possess a public IP, that will be provided in the proper form field.
The server may also have a public hostname (or FQDN, Fully Qualified Domain Name).
It can also be a subdomain inside a bigger domain (e.g. inside a University web server), please add the subdomain hostname field.
Some examples of the hostnames:
- iochem-bd.org (domain)
- iochem-bd.iciq.es (subdomain)
- iochem-bd.urv.es (subdomain)
If your server doesn't have a name apart from an IP address, leave name field blank.
To sign up, you must request a new user account
Please read before applying:
- Your user account will allow you to access and operate the ioChem-BD services hosted at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center node (BSC-CNS).
- As a non-profit organization, BSC-CNS’ policy is to make use of the centre’s resources for research purposes and non-profit aims only. If you intend to use resources for profit purposes, we should establish a commercial agreement, whether you belong to a non-profit or a for-profit organization.
- If you apply for an academic organization license, please use an academic institution e-mail address to prove your affiliation. Do not use email addresses such as Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook accounts.
- User accounts will be grouped by Institution / Department / ResearchGroup. Please, keep this hierarchy in mind when applying for a new account. Contact your supervisor to avoid future conflicts.

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
