The Blue Obelisk movement was established in 2005 as a response to the lack of Open Data, Open Standards and Open Source (ODOSOS) in chemistry. It aims to make it easier to carry out chemistry research by promoting interoperability between chemistry software, encouraging cooperation between Open Source developers, and developing community resources and Open Standards.
This contribution looks back on the work carried out by the Blue Obelisk in the past 5 years and surveys progress and remaining challenges in the areas of Open Data, Open Standards, and Open Source in chemistry.
We show that the Blue Obelisk has been very successful in bringing together researchers and developers with common interests in ODOSOS, leading to development of many useful resources freely available to the chemistry community.
蓝色方尖碑运动成立于 2005 年,旨在应对化学领域缺乏开放数据、开放标准和开源(ODOSOS)的问题。它旨在通过促进化学软件之间的互操作性、鼓励开源开发者之间的合作以及开发社区资源和开放标准,使化学研究更容易进行。
本贡献回顾了蓝色方尖碑在过去 5 年中所开展的工作,并调查了化学领域在开放数据、开放标准和开源方面的进展和遗留挑战。
我们表明,蓝色方尖碑在将对 ODOSOS 有共同兴趣的研究人员和开发者聚集在一起方面非常成功,导致了许多对化学界免费开放的有用资源的开发。
