Chemistry has evolved from hardcopy textbooks and journals to online access and directly to actionable data. This program will outline how changing technology drives informatics systems. In particular we will examine the state of the art in terms of electronic access to chemistry data, including integrated content systems from commercial data providers, as well as a discussion of future trends such as Web services.
