Provisional Recommendation - Extension of ThermoML: The IUPAC Standard for Thermodynamic Data Communications
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is pleased to announce the following Provisional Recommendation.
Abstract:
ThermoML is an XML-based approach for storage and exchange of experimental, predicted, and critically evaluated thermophysical and thermochemical property data. Extensions to the ThermoML schema for the representation of speciation, complex equilibria, and properties of biomaterials are described. The texts of fourteen data files illustrating the new extensions are provided as Supporting Information together with the complete text of the updated ThermoML schema.
IUPAC seeks your comments
Comments should be submitted by 31 August 2011. The text of the Provisional Recommendation can be downloaded from http://media.iupac.org/reports/provisional/abstract11/frenkel_310811.html. Comments should be sent to Dr. Michael Frenkel at michael.frenkel@nist.gov.
Provisional Recommendations are drafts of IUPAC recommendations comprising topics on terminology, nomenclature, and symbols. These recommendations are made widely available to allow interested parties to comment before the recommendations are finally revised and published in Pure and Applied Chemistry.
