Future Possibilities

Nexus CD-ROMs as a Template

• The Nexus concept is in the public domain. If considered worthwhile, anyone is free to apply the Nexus concept and format to their particular academic field without need for obtaining permissions. Having an existing template makes setting up a new CD relatively easy.

Crystallographic Nexus CD-ROM's

• Specialised Crystallographic CD-ROMs (640 Meg is not that great amount of space)
  • IUCr Site CD-ROM
  • Protein Crystallography (Linux Based)
  • Powder Diffraction
  • Small Molecule
  • Crystallographic Software Development CD-ROM (source code, compilers: Windows, Linux)
  • Etc, etc.....

Scientific Nexus CD-ROM's

• In theory, any permutation and combination for any field of science can be implemented if the motivation by only a single individual is present (plus PC, CDR and 28,800 Modem)!
• If part of an organisational, or departmental initiative, this should be easier; though care should be taken with the legal implications.
