Workshop to Scope an Effective Environmental Genome Mapping Initiative

CBET 1743682 PI：Twomey，Janet本次研讨会将扩大和加强完成“化学品和材料网络”完整数据库所需的技术，该数据库将包括用于商业用途的约100，000种化学品和材料的分子构建过程，以制造全球社会目前使用的几乎所有产品。“化学品和材料网络”的一个重要贡献是为工业和学术研究人员、公共政策制定者和公众提供一个民主化的开源数据库。创建一个共同的脚手架，让来自地球仪的研究人员可以参与并增加新的效用，这是一个巨大的希望。“化学品和材料网”将通过在开发新的可持续材料和化学品时提供实用信息，实现智能可持续化学。从这个意义上说，设想的数据库是化学信息学的一种形式，可以提高环境信息和制造效率纳入研发的容易性和速度。“化学品和材料网络”将提供基于功能的设计工具，并包括比现在更多的数据，大大扩展了可持续化学的力量。将“化学品和材料网络”创建为开放源代码，将通过启用创造性思维和研究（本科生、研究生、教师和工业研发），使用新工具，以数量级扩展找到更智能的绿色材料和化学品的潜力，产生全球社会效益。随着“化学品和材料网络”被用来创造新产品、提高效率、创造就业机会和促进经济发展，初创企业、扩张甚至全新的行业都可能出现。该项目设想未来使用这些数据来支持创新的新工业流程，化学工程，地球系统科学和基础能源科学的新研究。向全球合作伙伴开源提供这些数据对于降低总体流程成本、能源消耗、碳足迹和环境影响具有重要价值。

CBET 1743682 PI: Twomey, Janet This workshop will scope and strengthen the technology that will be needed to complete the full database for "The Web of Chemicals and Materials", which is to include the molecular building processes for the approximately 100,000 chemicals and materials used commercially to make nearly every product in current use by global society. A significant contribution of "The Web of Chemicals and Materials" is to be a democratized, open source database for industry and academic researchers, public policy makers, and the general public. The creation of a common scaffolding on which researchers from many institutions across the globe can participate and add new utility, holds enormous promise. "The Web of Chemicals and Materials" will enable smart sustainable chemistry through providing information of practical use when new, sustainable materials and chemicals are developed. In that sense, the envisioned database is a form of chemi-informatics that can improve the ease and speed by which environmental information and manufacturing efficiency are included in R&D. "The Web of Chemicals and Materials" will provide function-based design tools and include orders-of-magnitude more data than are now available, greatly expanding the power of sustainable chemistry. Creating "The Web of Chemicals and Materials" as open-source will have global social benefits by enabling creative thinking and research (undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and industrial R&D), using new tools, expanding by orders-of-magnitude the potential to find smarter green materials and chemicals. Start-ups, expansions, and even whole new industries may emerge as "The Web of Chemicals and Materials" is used to create new products, more efficiencies, jobs, and economic development. The project envisions future use of the data to support innovative new industrial processes, new research in chemical engineering, earth systems science, and basic energy science. The open source availability of these data to global partners could be of great value in efforts to reduce overall process costs, energy consumption, carbon footprints, and environmental impacts.
