Elementsas
Elementsas is a conceptual framework that envisions treating chemical elements and related material data as modular, composable services delivered over the web. The term combines 'elements' with 'as a service' to describe a network of data modules that expose standardized interfaces for atomic properties, isotopes, spectroscopic data, and other elemental characteristics. The goal is to enable researchers and developers to assemble customized data workflows without maintaining local repositories.
Core components typically include modular data services (one service per data domain, such as atomic properties,
Applications span education, materials informatics, and laboratory decision support. For example, an application might retrieve atomic
Challenges include standardization of data schemas, licensing and licensing compatibility, data quality and provenance, latency in
