our experiences will speed the uptake of InChI among
participants.
CINF 8. InChl as a publishing application. Graeme
Whitley, John Wiley & Sons, 111 River Street, Hobokn,
NJ 07030-5 774, and Bernd Berger, John Wiley & Sons,
Weinheim D-69469, Germany
Science publishers are composed of hundreds of brands
and products sourced from thousands of different authors
and many different software systems. A critical part of
the publishing process is handling these different inputs
efficiently and producing a consistent product. A second
challenge, unique to a chemistry publisher, is that many
of our publications contain novel compounds that have
not yet been registered in any compound registry, and
therefore do not have a unique identifier associated with
them. Wiley was one of the first publishers to employ
InChI and a precursor of the InChI key as a publishing
solution. Our publishing requirements included needing
a compound identifier, a means of quickly identifying
replicate records for the same compound, and a means of
quickly matching look up requests. We describe our
approach and experience deploying InChI in a real world
publishing environment.
CINF 9. A systematic nomenclature for codifying
engineered nanostructures. Warren C. W. Chan,
warren. chan@utoronto.ca, Institute of Biomaterials and
Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto, 164
College Street 408, Toronto, ON M5S 3G9, Canada, and

Toronto, ON M5S3H6, Canada
Nanotechnology's growing applications are fueled by the
synthesis and engineering of myriad nanostructures, yet
there is no systematic naming and/or classification
scheme for such materials. This lack of a coherent
nomenclature is confusing the interpretation of data sets
and threatens to hamper the pace of progress and risk
assessment. A systematic nomenclature that encodes
nanostructures' overall composition, size, shape, core
and ligand chemistry, and solubility is presented. A
typographic string of minimalist field codes facilitates
digital archiving and searches for desired properties.
This nomenclature system could also be used for
nanomaterial hazard labeling.
CINF 10. Nanotech nomenclature in environmental
sciences. Gopal Coimbatore,

885-4577A report published in C&EN in 2005 on nanotech
terminology said this, it's basically been a free-for-all in
the world of nanotech terminology. Quantum dots,
nanoshells, nanopeapods and nanoscientists have been
inspired by everything from Polish dumplings to Inuit
landmarks when naming new nanomaterials. Three years
since, the state of flux hasn't gone away, although
several recent efforts have made the picture clearer and
helped crystallize a rudimentary framework on nanotech
nomenclature. The derivative area of science (and of
nanotechnology), namely environmental sciences, has as
usual displayed a phase lag in fructifying its
nomenclature. Yet, the pace of progress is such that by
the time this presentation finally lights up on the screen,
the author's preliminary thoughts on the topic would be
obsolete. Despite that, we will make an attempt to
summarize the most recent approaches in nomenclature
in environmental sciences.
CINF 11. Nanotechnology at CAS: Size matters.
Roger J. Schenck, Chemical Abstracts Service, 2540
Olentangy River Road, Columbus, OH 43202, Fax: 614-
461-7140
Literature related to the field of nanotechnology is
growing rapidly. 1.8 percent of the records covered by
Chemical Abstracts Service in 2000 contained the term
nano; in 2005 that percentage had grown to 4.9 percent,
and in 2007 it was over 8 percent. As expected, CAS
scientists are seeing a quickly evolving nomenclature in
this relatively new field of science. This presentation
will discuss some of the examples and problems
encountered in processing nano information, and
solutions that CAS is adopting for indexing and
substance representation. Specific examples will be
illustrated.
CINF 12. Patenting nanotechnology: Correlating size
and language to describe nanotech inventions.
Jeffrey A. Lindeman, jlindeman@nixonpeabody.com,

The words used to describe and claim the invention
determine the scope of patent protection for an
invention. The words used to describe an invention do
not necessarily change with size. They can be the same
for the macroscale or for the nanoscale. Common words
may be too big for nanotechnology and simply using the
prefix nano may not be sufficient to accurately describe
an invention. This presentation considers how words in
patent claims are interpreted and how that impacts
nanotech inventions. As nanotechnology continues to
develop, so does nanotechnology patent practice. This
presentation considers the applications of patent law and
practice to nanotechnology and discusses how to useChemical Information Bulletin, Vol. 61, No 1 (Spring) 2009
