There have been numerous attempts to develop standard connection table formats for data exchange, almost all of which have sunk rapidly and without trace. An XML-based connection table format, Chemical Markup Language (CML) was proposed in the late 1990s and has now reached version 2.4 which incorporates a number of extensions for representation of features such as spectra, reactions and polymers. Though there is now an extensive CML literature, its adoption by commercial software vendors has thus far been very limited. Greater penetration has been achieved by the lUPAC Chemical Identifier, which is essentially a highly-compacted connection table, discussed in the next section.
