Workshop to Scope an Effective Environmental Genome Mapping Initiative

CBET 1743682 PI：Tomeey，Janet本次研讨会将扩大和加强完成“化学品和材料网”完整数据库所需的技术，其中将包括全球社会目前使用的几乎每一种产品的商业使用的大约100,000种化学品和材料的分子构建过程。“化学品和材料网”的一个重要贡献是成为一个民主化的、开放源码的数据库，供工业界和学术界的研究人员、公共政策制定者和普通公众使用。创造一个共同的脚手架，全球许多机构的研究人员可以在这个脚手架上参与并增加新的实用价值，这具有巨大的前景。“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际使用的信息，使智能可持续化学成为可能。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简便性和速度。“化学和材料网络”将提供基于功能的设计工具，并包括比现在可用的数量级更多的数据，极大地扩展可持续化学的力量。将“化学和材料网络”作为开源创建，将带来全球社会效益，它将促进创造性思维和研究(本科生、研究生、教职员工和工业研发)，使用新工具，以数量级扩大发现更智能的绿色材料和化学品的潜力。随着“化学和材料网络”被用来创造新产品、更高效率、更多就业机会和经济发展，初创企业、扩张甚至整个新行业可能会出现。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。将这些数据开放给全球合作伙伴，对于降低总体流程成本、能源消耗、碳足迹和环境影响可能具有重要价值。

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.
