Why is it important?

Drug discovery is expensive, takes years and so any methods to try to speed it up or lower costs could be impactful. More collaboration and sharing could be an alternative and software can facilitate this.

Perspectives

A very simple idea which built on the many technologies, databases and tools being developed at the time. I still don't think we have reached close to what is possible.
