The Reciprocal Net project is constructing and deploying an extensive distributed and open digital collection of molecular structures. Associated with the collection are software tools for visualizing, interacting with, and rendering printable images of the contents; software for the automated conversion of local database representations into standard formats which can be globally shared; tools and components for constructing educational modules based on the collection; and examples of such modules as the beginning of a public repository for educational materials based on the collection. The contents of this collection come principally from structures contributed by participating crystallography laboratories, thus providing a means for teachers, students, and the general public to connect with current chemistry research. The collection will be fully integrated into the emerging NSDL framework, constituting a resource of outstanding value for education at every level. The methodologies and tools of the project enable it to be fully distributed and self-sustaining after the initial startup period.

Reciprocal Net项目正在构建和部署一个广泛的分布式和开放的分子结构数字集合。与该收藏相关的有：用于使内容可视化、与内容互动和呈现内容的可打印图像的软件工具;用于将本地数据库表示自动转换为可在全球共享的标准格式的软件;用于根据该收藏构建教育模块的工具和组件;以及此类模块的实例，如基于该收藏的教育材料公共储存库的开端。该集合的内容主要来自参与晶体学实验室贡献的结构，从而为教师，学生和公众提供了与当前化学研究联系的手段。这些收藏品将被充分纳入正在形成的NSDL框架，成为对各级教育具有突出价值的资源。该项目的方法和工具使其能够在最初的启动期后充分分布和自我维持。
