Existing Structure Mining Tools and Projects

It is likely that ever since systematic nomenclature was introduced, chemists have wished for a simple way to convert a systematic name to a graphical representation 

Chemical Information Mining Facilitating Literature-Based Discovery 

The projects outlined above all focus on the extraction of chemical identifiers from text, but there is a clear dependence on the N2S conversion algorithms for the overall output of the various approaches. The remainder of this chapter will review the challenges associated with the development of N2S algorithms and how these can be addressed.
