A Toolbox for Providing Open Data on Chemical and Material Uses

Open data about chemical and material uses are crucial for safety assessments and designing safer alternatives. However, accessing such data in the public domain is challenging due to fragmentation and inconsistent formats. This project seeks to empower the scientific and regulatory communities to create open, FAIR data on chemical and material uses by providing essential tools. The toolbox will include reporting standards and templates, along with cheminformatics and natural language processing workflows for extracting and harmonizing existing data from various sources. These tools are designed for researchers within the ETH-Domain and external stakeholders, including industry professionals, regulators, and civil society organizations. The project will follow a participatory approach, involving ETH-Domain and external stakeholders in testing, finalizing, and sharing the toolbox.
