+BODR is the "Blue Obelisk Data Repository".
+
+It represents a set of common, standardized data for chemoinformatics
+in both XML and plain-text formats. Currently this encompasses:
+
+1) Elements directory
+   - element names and symbols
+   - atomic masses, covalent radii, van der Waals radii
+   - Pauling electronegativities
+   - electron affinity
+   - ionization potential
+   - default element colors for viewers
+2) Isotopes directory
+   - exact masses of most abundant isotopes
+   - isotopic masses and abundances
+   - spin
+   - kinds of decay, percentages and energy
+   - magnetic dipole moment
+   - halflife
