Public, private and free data
The experimental data on OCHEM has three access levels:
- Private data is visible only to the user who introduce= d it
- Public data is visible to all OCHEM users
- Free data is visible and freely downloadable by all OC= HEM users
The difference between public and free= data is in the fact that OCHEM limits the export of sensitive information = (in particular, molecular structures) for non-free data. Different categori= es of users can have individual limits for exporting non-free data.
Users can make their data public or free any time using the Compound property browser as sho= wn on the screenshot below.
Approved dat= a
The data published by users (public and free data as described above) can be tagged as "approved" by OC= HEM moderators.
By default, users see only the approved data published by other users. H= owever, there is an option to show all public data, including the records n= ot yet approved by moderators.
