A creative chemistry pathway to understanding
10-31, 14:00–14:10 (UTC), Room 2

When chemistry students draw their own molecules, they want to know what they've made. This talk will draw together open source web tools to achieve this: Molview, and PubChem working in synchrony with Wikidata, via Entity Explosion and the Wikidata Query Service. The presentation will also show how to easily set up connections and methodologies like this, whenever sites use common identifiers.
