After 20 years of active work, research on the environmental chemistry and fate of antimony has reached a mature state but many fundamental questions remain unanswered. Progress can be made by efficiently constructing knowledge from the flood of data being continuously produced rather than focusing only in producing new results. Two approaches are discussed:

1) A BUKI (Building Up Knowledge Initiative) dealing with the environmental chemistry of antimony. A BUKI is a collaborative approach based on the combination of a web-based platform and the elaboration of systematic reviews. More at: http://www.unige.ch/antimony/buki/.

2) The construction and update of a thermodynamically-consistent equilibrium constant database for antimony by following the JESS approach. More at: http://jess.murdoch.edu.au/jess\_home.htm.
