Merck chemical structure information system

Brown and others [12] describe the Merck, Sharp, and Dohme chemical structure information system which utilizes this approach. 

Brown, H. D., Marianne Costlow, Frank A. Cutler, Albert N. DeMott, Walter B. Gall, David P. Jacobus, and Charles J. Miller, "The Computer-Based Chemical Structure Information System of Merck, Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories," Journal of Chemical Information and Computer Sciences, 16(1), 5-10 (1976).

The system, still operating to this date, is based on the approach used at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Washington, D.C. The system was extensively enhanced to meet the specific needs of the Merck Sharp and Dohme Research Laboratories (MSDRL) and the Chemical Data Department (CDD) which is responsible for processing chemical structure information at Merck and Co., Inc.
