Dear Walt:

(1) Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I
).

Dear Alain:

(2) I would greatly appreciate it if you can kindly help WalterÕs searching an organization which may be interested in receiving the donation of a large collection of American Chemical Society (ACS) journals.  Pls feel free to contact Walter on this matter.

Dear E-Colleagues:
Pls let me know any willing recipient of such a valuable journal.


(3) My wholehearted congratulations to your steady progress to the project of constructing an encyclopedia of organic chemistry (EnCOrE):  
http://www.fundp.ac.be/facultes/sciences/departements/chimie/recherche/centres/cos/encore/presentation.html

Dear Walt:

(4) Alain (References (b) to (h) above) once inquired any professors who might be interested in his EnCOrE Project — see ATTACHMENT II
and III.

Pls visit Reference (a) above for my reply to him, which mentioned of my Ph.D. thesis under Dr. Othmer, your predecessor.

Dear Shiro:

(5) Pls pay your attentions to WaltÕs and AlainÕs desires and projects.

How is the alumni of Polytechnic Institute in Japan?  I strongly suggest that you visit it next time when you will be in NYC area.  It has been changed a lot — Dr. Okamoto has retired from the dean of hypolymer chemistry.

Keep In touch.

Best, Tak

Hi -

One of our faculty has a large collection of ACS journals - JACS &
Macromolecules - that he would be more than willing to donate but we are having trouble identifying a recipient. I thought, perhaps, with your connections you might be able to help us identify someone who could benefit from these.

Please let me know.
Thanks

Collaborative work involving peace

 

Dear Prof. Utsumi,
I was one of the members of E-LEGI project and a friend of Stefano Cerri and help to develop Grid based tools to allow communication and collaboration between Chemists. I am a member of your mailing list and appreciate your efforts and thoughts.
I would like to benefit from your experience and your advice and your help to create a freely available, net-based, encyclopaedia of organic chemistry, which we call EnCOrE (EncyclopŽdie de Chimie Organique Electronique). It will remain up-to-date to assist education, and provide information in organic chemistry at all levels from university students to practitioners in research in formal as well as informal ways.
This encyclopedia is expected to be built under a strong scientific board for quality and reliability but collaboratively with chemists all over the world from any country, any non-profit or profit organizations without discrimination. This collaboration is expected to be active not only to fill its content but more importantly to built its conceptual framework as it will disclosed below.
We hope that the collaborative tools (Grid based) we are using and we hope to improve, will allow a better understanding and favor the Peace processes.
In a first run I would like to gather there the international community of organic chemists basically those which are involved in the discovery of methods to produce and create substances for knowledge acquisition to properties (Physical, chemical, biochemical) including drug discovery.
I dream that it will, be in a second step, devoted to non professional: school students, school teachers, students and media. The objectives being to teach or to answer their question in an independent and scientific way favoring discussions and collaborations.
The objective is a take advantage of this process to disclose a model on Encyclopedia building, mixing pragmatic and semantic approaches around a strong ontological nucleus.
In organic chemistry experiments as well as concepts and rules are the basis of knowledge.
Although chemical databases have been build as early as 1830 (Chemisches Zentralblatt), Handbuchs der Organischen ChemieŅand Chemical Abstract is 100 years old (Electronic 1983). Noting is known abot knowledge and many chemist use database to perform analogies and imagine that this is knowledge.
Best regards

RE: [gu-new] (02/09/08) Collaborative work for constructing the encyclopedia of organic chemistry (EnCOrE

 

Dear sir,
Can you identify yourself ? Thank you very much for all the pertinent information you are giving me. I was unaware. It is helping  me a lot.
Do you think that there is a way to get support ?
I have an excellent advisory board which includes Prof. Ryoji Noyori, Nobel 2001 in chemistry and Prof. John Gladysz, co-editor of chemical reviews (American Chemical Society),  Prof. Carreira (ETH, Zurich)  and Prof. G. Mehta (Bangalore).
I am 65 and 3 month and I am applying to a ERC grant (European commission) with Stefano as my co-investigator. The support is uncertain. My University is not supportive because of the age although I am still teaching until next September.
Scientists  are collaborating in India (Pondicherry) , and France (Avignon, Montpellier)  to built tools to allow machine readable chemical equation and chemical structure and we want to built our encyclopedia especially a chemical dictionary and chemical ontologies collaboratively using adapted grid powered tools (Grid shared desktop from Stefano)
Best regards,
Alain
