 Can you see my screen? Yes, we do. Okay. Fantastic. Okay, good. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks very much. Yes, my name is Stuart Chalk. And before I actually get into this brief presentation about the the RUPAC Gold Book, let me answer Simon's question from the previous talk. The CIPM's task group on the digital is the kind of the formal entity within BIPM. I am a member of the expert group that kind of works underneath that, trying to provide guidance relative to unit of measure topics in the digital space. And we could talk about that forever, but of course I'm not going to do that. So thanks to the organizers for letting me speak about this. I'm just going to give you a quick overview of what this thing is called the compendium of chemical terminology. That's the formal title. However, it's colloquially known as the RUPAC Gold Book because of Dr. Victor Gold, who was the initial editor of this thing that we do is currently online, but originally were physical books that were published. The online site is at this address, as you can see top right here, and has approximately 7,000 chemical concepts defined and linked back to the original source documents, which are published in our UPAX Journal Pure and Applied Chemistry. I'll talk more about that in a little bit. As you can see bottom right, each of the terms in the compendium has a DOI associated with it. So obviously it can be referenced. And in the most recent version of the website, we have added an API to be able to access the data on the terms in the system. So this is an authoritative source for chemical concept definitions. And those definitions come out of a lot of work historically that the members of the different divisions of our UPAX and originally commissions of our UPAX went through over the last 40 years in terms of formally defining chemical concepts for the community. And this is very much part of the mission of our UPAX, trying to come up with a common language for chemistry. And of course originally that was specifically focused on for humans. Obviously now we are thinking very much about what that means for computers. And as you will see, our UPAX is with the gold book is currently in a kind of a transitory phase where we're trying to make it much more digital than it has been. So this is just to show you a quick snapshot of the IUPAC pure and applied chemistry website where these things that IUPAC called recommendations are published. Recommendations are the highest level of formal documents within IUPAC. But not all recommendations publish glossaries, terminologies, etc. These are recommendations in a general sense, but it's certainly a big portion of them cover terminologies for chemical concepts across different disciplinary areas within chemistry. And these are written up in a way that is more consistent these days based on guidelines that are available on the IUPAC website. So you can see here an example of a concept definition where there is a preferred term, the actual definition of that preferred term. We've historically evolved to also take advantage of adding notes to kind of contextualize terms wherever appropriate or give some more kind of subtle guidance as to where it's appropriate to use them and where it's not appropriate to use them. And although not shown here, there are other nominal ways in which when authoring a concept term, you can provide an example, synonyms, appropriate symbols that might be used with quantities. And of course, if a particular term is either deprecated or obsolete, that can be added too. And the guidelines for writing the concept definition are being updated as we speak. In fact, there's a new version going to come up very shortly to kind of streamline this even further. So historically, there have been, let's say somewhere close to 180 individual IUPAC recommendations that address topics in terms of terminology or glossaries. And in the late 80s, there was the development by Victor Gold or the suggestion by Victor Gold that there would be a compendium of the terms that were defined in these specific recommendations. And as a consequence, there was, like I said, a first and then a second version of a physical book called the IUPAC compendium of chemical terminology. And then projects were initiated in the early 2000s to create the first digital version of this. And this went online in 2006 and was actually XML based at the time, quite forward thinking. But in a sense, unfortunately, a little static. The HTML documents that were there were literally that static HTML documents created from XML. And so it was clear in about 2016 2016 2017 that this needed a bit of an update. And so I was fortunate enough to get involved and do that update. And so in 2019, we published a new version, which you briefly saw on the first or second slide. And this has kind of made the whole system database driven. So it's much easier, obviously, to dynamically generate pages of the individual definitions. We've had the capability of being able to link out to other definitions. We've got a device agnostic UI. We've got a REST API, as I mentioned. You can download a copy of the vocabulary. And we have this as a project on GitHub at this point. And that means the actual website itself. So that's not open. But at some point soon, we will be having an open GitHub repository in support of this, which will obviously make available things that we think are important for the community to have. The current license on the Goldbook is kind of the standard IUPAC license, which is CC by NCND. But that is for the collection. Individual terms, we're currently looking at what we might change that to to make it even more open. Although, of course, given this particular license, this is open, assuming you're not trying to do anything non-commercial with it. So the website looks like this. Here's an example page. Again, I said it links back to the original source documents. And so those are the versions of record of where these definitions come from. All, again, I said, as I said, published in pure and applied chemistry and all freely available because that's that's how the because they are products of the union and the project sort of runs through the union. When published in pure applied chemistry, they automatically become open access. And we have a lot of indices on here to be able to look things up. Obviously, we have a search option. And then the API that will be built at this point is is is okay. But you know, maybe it could be improved. And if you are interested in this kind of stuff, and you go and check it out, I'm very happy to receive any feedback on the current API. One of the things that I didn't realize starting this out, and I don't think a lot of people realize when they see a definition on the page is just how complicated this can be in terms of architecting the bits and pieces that really come together to be able to build a particular representation of the entry and the definition. So I think it's a it's a work in progress. But anyway, any feedback would be very much appreciated. We do have both XML and Jason downloads for those that are interested. What we're doing right now is going through all of the I impact recommendations, whether our glossaries or terminologies, and trying to update the gold book. Currently, the content of the gold book is from the kind of the the version that was originally up. So the content didn't change in the update to the website. But the technology to present it to change, but the content didn't change. Right now, the individual divisions of our you pack are going through a an update process, which is an extensive thing. Because as I said, there's over 180 recommendations. Don't have an exact number, but there's some were on the order of 15,000 different terms that have been defined across those recommendations. So the divisions of our you pack are undergoing this review. And I built out this system called the term review system, which is basically an online way, which the divisions are going to be able to review the definitions that are under their purview, go through reviewing them for that I need any type of graphical changes or or are there any major updates that are needed. And if there are major updates, there's going to have to be a re a redevelopment of a particular concept. And it's and it's definition, or even a whole set of them and go through the formal you pack process again. But the system is there to facilitate getting these new the newer terms that have been defined and newer recommendations. And and we're ongoing with this project at this time. We've started this in summer of last year. Right now, we're just about to get to the point where we have our first new recommendation pushed through the TRS system. It'll be on the area of chemometrics. Hopefully, by the end of the year, we're looking at the complete what's called orange book, which is the the color book as we call it for the the area of analytical chemistry, which will have about 3000 terms that will be earlier next year. And then there are other big sets of terms that will be going through. But we hope that by the end of the year, we will have this this update done, although it's still going to it's going to take a lot of effort. And so that timeframe may slip a little bit. The point here being the last part of the slide, which while this is an international union, we are all volunteers. And so, you know, we have our day jobs. And so we do have to be mindful that we don't have staff that we can employ 24 seven to work on this. Here are the if anybody's interested, I'll make these slides available to the to the organizers. If anybody's interested, you can you can look at these projects across the different divisions. And if if you are interested in, you can contact the chair of the project and say you would like to sit in on those. There's a formal process to be approved to be added as a member of the project group. But the first thing to do is just to get involved and listen into the conversations that are happening in these groups as they go through their updating process. Now, you know, we understand that what we have is is kind of a nice thought, but it's really not enough. So we are thinking forward on this to try and make sure we use the goal book to enable chemistry in the digital space through semantics through vocabularies. And, you know, we we've we've started talking to other organizations in the chemistry space like NFDI for Chem, which is a German chemical chemical infrastructure project, one of many that the German government has authorized. And we're trying to, you know, make sure that we support the community of ontology developers in the chemistry space by not only making them aware of all of the concepts of the divine on the goal book website, but also making sure we we we help them in the process of integrating definitions of terms that we have into their ontologies. And then what we would like to do also is to kind of bring that back to the goal book website and then also, you know, put out there where a particular concept on the goal book website is being used in a particular ontology. So if somebody wants to go the ontology route, obviously they can. Some things I'm working on right now to try and kind of fill the gap as we're as we're working on the update, which is going to take a little bit of time. We're going to go through the process of just basically getting a list of all the defined concepts across the different IUPAC recommendations out. That'll be out by the end of the year, I hope, openly available on the GitHub on a GitHub repository. Per a request that we've had, we're going to put together a small website just to allow the community to, quote, request a new chemical concept definition. That'll be very interesting for us because obviously not only can we look at what we've already got in the PAC recommendations and in the goal book, but we can also use this information to identify whether our gaps in the coverage of the terminology. And that's a really important thing. Stuart, 15 minutes. Thank you, sir. Appreciate that. I'm just about to close. So my question to this community and of course we'll be discussing this a little bit today and then hopefully tomorrow is what else should we chemistry do here? There's a lot we could do, but again, we're a volunteer organization, so we have to kind of prioritize things. If you want to get in contact with me, here's my information. Again, I'll make these slides available to the organizers. We have a general goal book question email address and then I also need to acknowledge the other content, the content editor for the goal book website, which is Jan Kaiser. And then the chairs of the two committees that form this joint subcommittee on the IUPAC goal book, which I am a co-chair of, that's Jürgen Stoner from ICTNS and Lea McEwen, who's on the call from CPCDS, the Committee on Publications and Human Informatics.
