The project is aimed at creating an Internet-accessible information-computational system on molecular spectroscopy that will provide information from the spectroscopic databanks to assist in solving the problems of molecular spectroscopy.

The system is supposed to be developed on the following streams:
- addition of new data to the database;
- expansion of the types of solvable problems;
- improvement of the system implementation technology;
- development of ontologies for molecular spectroscopy.

The system will be incorporated with unique data on water vapour (the Partridge and Schwenke spectra and our corrections for them for the highly excited states), carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide, sulphur dioxide, nitrous oxide, as well as the latest versions of the well-known spectral databanks HITRAN and GEISA.

Online, the system will enable solution of forward spectroscopic problems, primary identification of experimental spectra, and comparison between the user and verified molecular spectra.

Software implementation of the ICS is realized within the object-oriented approach using the XML that serves as a basis in refining the subject domain semantics.

Data and algorithms involved with the system form a computational model, on whose basis the ontological system for molecular spectroscopy is built.

The ICS is a freeware product and can be used by spectroscopists in the autonomous and mirroring modes.
