The objective of OpenTox was to develop a framework that provides a unified access to toxicity data, (Q)SAR models, procedures supporting validation, and additional information that helps with the interpretation of (Q)SAR predictions. The OpenTox framework has been developed as an open source project to optimize the dissemination and impact, to allow the inspection and review of algorithms and to attract external contributors. We closely collaborated with related projects and authorities to agree on common standards and to avoid duplicated and redundant work. The project established as an international research collaboration between groups from Switzerland, Bulgaria, Italy, Greece, Russia, India, USA, and Germany.
