1. Keys to accessing chemical information
Chemical information has certain specific characteristics that distinguish it from other fields:
the durability of information: in most fields, scientific progress and innovation render information obsolete for technological use within a few years. Chemistry has to keep track of data relating to chemical substances and their combinations. It is essential, and often vital for industry, to make sure that the substance we have just synthesized or extracted is not already known or potentially protected by a patent, that a particular property has not already been described, or that a particular application has not already been envisaged.
