Blue Obelisk
Blue Obelisk is an informal group of chemists who promote open data , open source , and open standards ; it was initiated by Peter Murray-Rust and others in 2005.[1] [2] [3] Multiple open source cheminformatics projects associate themselves with the Blue Obelisk, among which, in alphabetical order, Avogadro , Bioclipse , cclib , Chemistry Development Kit , GaussSum , JChemPaint , JOELib , Kalzium , Openbabel , OpenSMILES ,[4] and UsefulChem .[5]
The project has handed out personal awards for achievements in promoting Open Data, Open Source and Open Standards. Among those who received[6] a Blue Obelisk Award are:
