Workshop attendees 1) explored what new understanding of biological and environmental systems could be revealed through the lens of small molecules; 2) characterized the similarities in current needs and technical challenges between each science or mission area for unambiguous and comprehensive determination of the composition and quantities of small molecules of any sample; 3) determined the extent to which technologies or methods currently exist for unambiguously and comprehensively determining the small molecule composition of any sample and in a reasonable time; and 4) identified the attributes of the ideal technology or approach for universal small molecule measurement and identification.

When considering large sets of molecules, it is helpful to place them in the context of a "chemical space" - a multidimensional space defined by a set of descriptors that can be used to visualize and analyze compound grouping as well as identify regions that might be void of valid structures.

The physical-chemical property of molecular collision cross section (CCS) is increasingly used to assist in small molecule identification; however, questions remain regarding the extent of its true utility in contributing to such identifications, especially given its correlation with mass.

Finding the set of the n most dissimilar items is different than simply sorting an array of numbers because there exists a pairwise relationship between each item and all other items in the population.
