Nico asked recently about the availability of chemical data as RDF. There is no so much really. Finding large amounts of Open Data in chemistry is in general a problem. Things are slowly changing, however, though it is not very apparent.

About 1.5 years ago I started a FriedFeed room Open Chemical Data where RSS feeds of new chemical data are aggregated. It started with the RSS feed from the NMRShiftDB , and later ChemPedia Substances was added (which is expected to go EOL). I was informed, however, about Dryad. It is a website that allows deposition of data published in journals, as CC0. That latter is amazing! And when they announced a new twitter feed, also noted they had a RSS feed of new data sets. I asked about feeds specific for chemistry, which prompted Ryan to set up this Yahoo Pipe.

So, Dryad is now part of the Open Chemical Data room (second item):
