InChI Videos Launched
In April 2013, the InChI Trust launched a four-part video series to explain the International Chemical Identifier (InChI)—the widely used identifier for chemical substances that enables easier linking of diverse data compilations. Launched at the ACS Spring Meeting in New Orleans, the short, playful videos provide an easy-to-understand overview of InChI. The videos were created by Nick Currey from mfreeth.com and were produced by the InChI Trust. Following are screen shots from some of the videos.
