Normalization and Matching of Chemical Compound Names
Normalization and Matching of Chemical Compound Names is a scholarly work by Martin Golebiewski and Ulrike Wittig, published in 2009 in ''Nature Precedings''. The main subjects of the publication include computer science, cheminformatics, artificial intelligence, chemical nomenclature, PubChem, natural language processing, chemical database, annotation, normalization, matching, drug design, chiral column chromatography, identification, and information retrieval. The authors have developed an application which matches synonymic names of chemical compounds and thereby facilitates the bundling of corresponding data referring to the same compound.The tool that authors have developed is based on natural language processing (NLP) methods and applies rules to systematically normalize chemical compound names.
