NMRShiftDB: An Open Access, Open Submission NMR database



 We are pleased to announce the release of version 1.0 of our open
 access, open submission, open source NMR database NMRShiftDB.
 The database lives on http://www.nmrshiftdb.org and can be accessed via
 a web interface.
 The software and database content can be downloaded via
 http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/nmrshiftdb.
 NMRShiftDB allows for searching for (sub-)spectra, (sub-)structures and
 other properties (chemical names, measurement conditions, keywords), and
 last not least 13C spectrum prediction based on the database content.
 Currently, the database contains about 5300 structures and about 6000
 assigned spectra.
 We very much welcome contributions of datasets or any other type of
 collaboration. Please note that due to our open content model, there is
 no danger of seeing your datasets vanish behind any virtual or real
 walls. The current and future content of NMRShiftDB is and will always
 be downloadable via the above URL together with the software to make
 them searchable. Thus, anyone is capable (and cordially invited) to
 create his or her own NMRShiftDB mirror.
 Feel free to contact the author of this mail, if you are interested.
 A technical paper on the database has just appeared in J. Chem. Inf.
 Comput. Sci, ASAP section, http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ci0341363
 Cheers,
 Christoph Steinbeck
