WorldWideMolecularMatrix

The World Wide Molecular Matrix (WWMM) is an electronic repository for unpublished chemical data. WWMM is an open collection of information of small molecules. The "Matrix" in WWMM is influenced by William Gibson's vision of a cyberinfrastructure where all knowledge is accessible. The WWMM is an experiment to see how far this can be taken for chemical compounds. Although much of the information for a given compound has been Openly published, very little is available in Open electronic collections. The WWMM is aimed at catalysing this approach for chemistry and the current collection is made available under the Budapest Open Archive Initiative (http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read).

全球分子矩阵（WWMM）乃一个专为未发表化学数据设立的电子档案库。该矩阵汇聚了小型分子的开放信息集合。WWMM中的“矩阵”概念深受威廉·吉布森对于一种网络基础设施的愿景影响，在该基础设施中，所有知识均触手可及。WWMM是一项旨在探索这一理念在化学化合物领域应用深度的实验。尽管关于特定化合物的许多信息已被公开发表，但在开放的电子档案库中可供查阅的资料却极为有限。WWMM旨在催化这一方法在化学领域的应用，并现正根据布达佩斯开放存取倡议（http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/read）提供当前的收藏。
