The empirical study of the build-up of chemical abundances in the galactic disk is an important route to our understanding of the history of the Galaxy. It supplies a wealth of constraints to the models and simulations being done. There are, however, still many unanswered questions concerning the details of the abundance patterns, and many uncertainties and possibly inconsistencies in the data at hand. Ideally one would like to map the abundances of individual elements as a function of time and 3-dimensional position in the disk. The study of the ISM today and of the surfaces of individual stars as probes of the ISM from the time and position of their formation help us in this endeavour.
