"I agree with Egon that ‘upstream’ or ‘remote curation/annotation’ would be really helpful. The Reflect service of EMBL/EBI allows now to tag missed entries (e.g. gene identifiers) and to annotate wrong ones. With a little mashup and right mouse-click actions this could be done for ChemSpider, too. Input: URL, text (chemistry or identifier), meta-data (annotation details) Output in ChemSpider database – Annotation of basically any web-page out there allowing chemistry enrichment. On the long-run people could ‘remotely’ help curating chemistry and any associated data."

joerg: are all the PLoS files PDBs? thanks for all the helpful explanation!

@Nir - I think Protopedia might be similar, and I personally need the XRay density visualization options of ICM. Actually, the AstexViewer http://www.openastexviewer.net/web... is also quite good in visualizing XRay densities, and I do not know if JMol can do that (never tried).

@Mike - Not sure if I understand the question, the ICB files are binary, but you can export and save PDB/ENT files, if you have a BrowserPro subscription. Anyway, I think all of the iSee ICB files were initially 'raw' PDB files and you should be able finding the PDB code somewhere in the publications or the iSee ICB files (check the tree view).

"Can anyone comment on the plans of "user role-management" and ways to "validate/sign robots" ? How could we avoid that "trojan listener robots" are added or someone adds people, which are not supposed to be added. From what I have seen is it easy to start threads with hundreds of people, but you would just need one to spoil the show and get into serious trouble."
