Course detail
Chemical Informatics II
FCH-BCT_CHI2Acad. year: 2009/2010
The aim of the subject is to acquaint students with general and practical aspects of the scientific information processing in any form, with emphasis on chemical subjects and electronic representation of information. It deals with feasibility and methods of electronic presentation of chemical information such as primary and secondary information resources, patents and computer applications for information processing. The practical part concentrated on the most important chemical data bases such as Chemical Abstracts, Belstein, Science Citation Index and others is following the general introductory part. The special emphasis is put on a connection between theoretical and practical aspects of the processing and utilization of chemical information.
