Will all chemistry content provider who have new and interesting announcements to make on web sites consider putting up an RSS feed
I have heard the call. I have created a RSS feed (the URL is http://dtp.nci.nih.gov/dtpstandard/servlet/chemRSS ) that reads our publicly accessible database and finds the headers for chemistry information. hopefully a proof of concept that is at least somewhat useful. Of course there are many ways to extend this. One very easy way is to have the servlet accept a chemical identifier and return pointers to data for that compound. Then people could automate looking to see if new data is available for their favorite compounds. Anyone who finds this potentially interesting (especially those who know RSS) are welcome to try it out and send me bugs, problems, comments, wish lists, etc. BTW, anyone interested in the specifics of our publicly available database can look at htttp://dtp.nci.nih.gov/dw/dw_main.html DanZ. /*******************************************************/ * Daniel Zaharevitz * Chief, Information Technology Branch, DTP, NCI * zaharevitz@dtpax2.ncifcrf.gov * phone: 301-496-8747 /*******************************************************/ chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
