This paper presents the project of an electronic encyclopaedia of organic Chemistry. The goal of the EnCOrE (Encyclopédie de la Chimie Organique Electronique) encyclopaedia is twofold: first, it aims at enhancing knowledge sharing in organic Chemistry, by providing a unified access to the increasing amount of domain resources; second, it aims at improving knowledge discovery in the field of organic Chemistry, by revealing unknown connections between those resources. EnCOrE encyclopaedia is designed for a broad category of users such as students, researchers, and teachers. The paper introduces our vision of the EnCOrE encyclopaedia as an information system. It presents its architecture and describes the semantic model sustaining this architecture. Critical points and challenges related to the EnCOrE project are also discussed.
