Notice is hereby given of the second meeting of the Working Group on Chemical Information Resource Coordination under the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Board of Scientific Counselors, National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).

The meeting will be open to the public, with attendance limited to space available. Individuals who plan to attend and need special assistance, such as sign language interpretation or other reasonable accommodations, should notify the Contact Person listed below in advance of the meeting.

The mission of the Working Group on Chemical Information Resource Coordination is to advise the Board of Scientific Counselors, NCBI, on interactions with private sector information providers in the development of the PubChem database. PubChem is a publicly available database that includes information about the biological activities of chemical compounds, and is designed to facilitate more integrated access to these information resources for biomedical researchers. The working group will: (1) Establish a process for retrospective evaluation of the biomedical relevance of compounds entered into PubChem, (2) Ensure the provenance of the data (i.e., whether private data are being improperly deposited into PubChem), (3) Ensuring the high quality of data in PubChem, (4) Monitoring the effect of PubChem on scientific progress, (5) Improving/Integrating interactions with commercial information providers, and (6) Avoiding unnecessary duplication with commercial information providers. This working group supports part of the National Institutes of Health's Roadmap, called the Molecular Libraries Initiative.
