[esip-semantictech] Chemical vocabularies

[Pier Luigi Buttigieg]

Hi both,

PubChem has a huge chemical vocabulary in the back, pulled from various sources including CHEBI.  From a semantic point of view, it's a real mixed bag.
https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/classification/#hid=1

Not sure how good it is for atmospheric chemicals, however.

I would consider asking CHEBI for the terms you need before using less expressive resources. I did so with some harmful algal bloom compounds and they created them pretty quickly.

Have fun!
Pier
