Chemical information mining System

So far, commercial text mining systems that link biological and chemical information through NLP seem to be ahead of academic developments. However, we have only limited information on the performance of these commercial systems. In particular, the rather sophisticated NLP approaches are computer-intensive, and currently... 

In the area of chemical literature information, the largest databases are produced by the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) of the American Chemical Society (ACS). As detailed on their website (www.cas.org), their principal databases are the Chemical Abstracts database (CA) with 16 million document records (mainly abstracts of journal articles and other literature) and the REGISTRY database with more than 28 million substance records. In an earlier volume of this series, we discussed CAS s SciFinder software for mining these databases. SciFinder is a tool for helping people formulate queries and view hits. SciFinder does not have all the power and precision of the command-line query system of CAS s STN, a software system developed earlier to access these and other CAS databases. But with SciFinder being easy...
