The Reciprocal Net project is constructing and deploying an extensive distributed and open digital collection of molecular structures. Associated with the collection are software tools for visualizing, interacting with, and rendering printable images of the contents; software for the automated conversion of local database representations into standard formats which can be globally shared; tools and components for constructing educational modules based on the collection; and examples of such modules as the beginning of a public repository for educational materials based on the collection. The contents of this collection come principally from structures contributed by participating crystallography laboratories, thus providing a means for teachers, students, and the general public to connect with current chemistry research. The collection will be fully integrated into the emerging NSDL framework, constituting a resource of outstanding value for education at every level. The methodologies and tools of the project enable it to be fully distributed and self-sustaining after the initial startup period.

互惠网络项目正在构建和部署广泛的分布式和开放的分子结构数字集合。与该集合相关的是用于可视化、交互和呈现内容的可打印图像的软件工具；用于将本地数据库表示自动转换为可全球共享的标准格式的软件；用于构建基于集合的教育模块的工具和组件；以及此类模块的示例，例如基于馆藏的教育材料公共存储库的开始。该馆藏的内容主要来自参与晶体学实验室贡献的结构，从而为教师、学生和公众提供了与当前化学研究联系的方式。该馆藏将完全融入新兴的 NSDL 框架，为各个级别的教育构成具有突出价值的资源。该项目的方法和工具使其能够在初始启动期后实现完全分布式和自我维持。
