Elsevier MDL and TEMIS Team To Provide Chemical Information Solution
Elsevier MDL and TEMIS, a provider of Text Mining solutions have announced
that they have co-developed the Chemical Entity Relationship Skill
Cartridge, a new software application that identifies and extracts chemical
information from text documents.

The software identifies chemical compound names, chemical classes and
molecular formulae in text documents and translates extracted information
into the chemist's language: the chemical structure. Features include:
Classification and relevance weighting--identified chemical terms are
assigned to specific chemical concepts according to semantic categories such
as regular chemical name, chemical class name, trivial name, etc.;
name-to-structure translation--an elaborated name-to-structure translation
service enables the user to automatically match textual information with
proprietary chemical libraries; and unique identification--for each
identified structure, a unique fingerprint is provided for de-duplication
purposes.

The Chemical Entity Relationship Skill Cartridge integrates the Chemical
Name Recognition software developed and used by Elsevier MDL to identify
chemical names and extract reaction schemes from scientific literature and
patents. This Chemical Name Recognition software has proven its robustness
and high-quality extraction capabilities for more than two years in the
production of the MDL Patent Chemistry Database backfile. Under the terms of
the agreement, TEMIS is the exclusive channel of the Chemical Entity
Relationship Skill Cartridge.
