I would definitely support integration and making available all
information developed within the project or outside on this topic .  
Text mining efforts would definitely need a formalized ontology in
addition, or built from free text vocabularities.

An interesting development would be extending the Oscar system to mining
chemistry documents  http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/wikis/wwmm/index.php/Oscar3
with mining toxicology information.

Best regards,
Nina
