Open jcolomb opened 6 years ago

This includes contacting putatively interested people, working on the project presentation, and give the community some structure and goals.

see https://github.com/jcolomb/reagentsio_website/blob/master/data/Presentation_project.md the draft for communicating the project.

@jcolomb, I'm interested in participating as a community member, and was wondering if your project would include support for those interested in pursuing amateur science/business and would find reagentsio to be useful for their ideas?

Also a good community to get in contact with maybe, cytoscape.
Here is a link => http://cytoscape.org/

They support a javascript library and a stand alone application which has its origin from bioinformatics, in any case it may help you in delivering your data to your end user and create a bigger community for you too.

link to there javascript library on GH => https://github.com/cytoscape/cytoscape.js

I'm really into javascript and am creating a workspace generator with this library its very useful in delivering components to the people.

welcome @KipOmaha, all we will create will be under permissive license, i.e. anyone can use it, including for business purpose.

At the moment ,the project is limited to create a way for scientists to produce computer readable material list, I am not so much thinking about what can be done with that data, but I am happy of others are!

ghost commented 6 years ago

Am I correct in thinking that most of the data you are going to collect/download is for the life sciences? I always thought ideas like this would be a great tool for material sciences involving things like battery grades, steel grades, and other fluid materials used in mechanics.

The key for me though is to be able to take the data and use it in pragmatic logic to build html/javascript applications [ie. using things like require.js to bring in the material data] so I'd want to use the JSON format to store the info.

I'm not sure if it matters for you but it maybe easier to monetize your idea for raising funds if you created a javascript API to interact with your data so people can build front-ends. :)

Anyways best of luck and happy sprinting!

Hey,

I have no background in .js, so I cannot follow what you write. But we are not planning to collect much data at this point. We want to find a way for people to report quality data (building low tech standards and apps).

How to collect/analyse/monetize the future collected data are different issues, I think. This is an open innovation project, i.e. what others will make with it is unpredictable and exiting.

I apologize, So javascript is just a language to create web applications, it's something that some people think of as a hobby [LIKE ME] feel free to steal knowledge from me if you ever want.

As far as my own purpose and interest, I was looking through the examples and thought it would be interesting to take this type of info and create an application that assigns the data to 'canvas image objects'.

I'm not sure if your spooled up on html canvas, but it's what cytoscape uses to create graph images. Of course in my case what I'd be looking for is mostly materials that fall under the non-organic label.
