KNIME platform

JChem Marvin KNIME extensions are also available [22]. The modules allow researchers to handle chemical structure data using ChemAxon s software tools such as Marvin, JChem and Standardizer within the open-source KNIME workflow environment. The KNIME platform provides a modular environment to visually create data flows, analyse and build predictive models. The JChem Extensions contain some nodes that are free of charge for general use. These nodes are called Marvin Family Nodes which include a set of nodes for structure conversion, Marvin Sketch , Marvin View and Marvin Space which offer sophisticated rendering capabilities for chemical structures. 

KNIME stands for the Konstanz Information Miner and is a visualization platform for creating and editing data evaluation pipelines and workflows using certain features called as Node Repository . It is an open-source tool for creating chemical workflows and was developed by Prof. Michael Berthold [18]. KNIME is downloadable from www.knime.org. CDK chemistry project was incorporated in KNIME and was written in Java. It can work in integration with chemoinformatics software.
