Open Data: license, rights, aggregation, clean interfaces?
A recent post by Cameron on his visit last week with Nico, Peter and Jim, discussed Open Data licensing. This lead to an interesting discussion on these matters, and questions by me on why people care so much about only public domain data (or licensed with PDDL or CC0).

PubChem-CDK
PubChem-CDK is a project that runs CDK code on the PubChem data. As we speak, a groovy script reads about 100 PubChem Compounds XML entries per second into the database. Mind you, not the SDF they distribute which uses a custom extension to overcome the limits of the real MDL SDF format.

Thesis and copyright transfer
My thesis was released slightly over a year ago in print form. The electronic form has not yet, which has social and legal barriers. Like many before me, I made the mistake to publish in journals that require me to reassign copyright. Combine that with the custom to publish papers in your thesis as is, which means reduction of work for the manuscript committee, as they can know which chapters have undergone peer-review in the form they are present in the thesis too. (The layout is different, as I integrated them into the thesis design.)
