The table is presented as an HTML page with GIF depictions of selected structures and text display of selected data columns. The major function of Webtables is to compute new columns of data. All computations are carried out on a web server Unix machine with the results returned using standard CGI methods. Data sets containing as many as 10,000 compounds are accomodated, although sizes nearer 1000 are more commonly used. The table may be output as a tab-delimited file.
Data are input from a variety of input file types.
We will show typical web page output for a sample session, list all available molecular property computations and discuss the underlying CGI scripting and the use of Daylight toolkit in Web Tables. We have developed a web-based application to assist in the searching of structural databases. Structures may be sketched in, read from input files, or located by compound id number in the databases. Output may be saved in local files on the web-client computer. All searches and computations are carried out on a web server Unix machine with the results returned using standard CGI methods.
