Abstract
Some of the latest trends in cheminformatics, computation, and the world wide web are reviewed with predictions of how these are likely to impact the field of cheminformatics in the next five years. The vision and some of the work of the Chemical Informatics and Cyberinfrastructure Collaboratory at Indiana University are described, which we base around the core concepts of e-Science and cyberinfrastructure that have proven successful in other fields. Our chemical informatics cyberinfrastructure is realized by building a flexible, generic infrastructure for cheminformatics tools and databases, exporting "best of breed" methods as easily-accessible web APIs for cheminformaticians, scientists, and researchers in other disciplines, and hosting a unique chemical informatics education program aimed at scientists and cheminformatics practitioners in academia and industry.

期刊介绍:
The considerable "algorithmic complexity" of biological systems requires a huge amount of detailed information for their complete description. Although far from being complete, the overwhelming quantity of small pieces of information gathered for all kind of biological systems at the molecular and cellular level requires computational tools to be adequately stored and interpreted. Interpretation of data means to abstract them as much as allowed to provide a systematic, an integrative view of biology. Most of the presently available scientific journals focus either on accumulating more data from elaborate experimental approaches, or on presenting new algorithms for the interpretation of these data. Both approaches are meritorious.
