Chemical Structure Access and Representation (CSAR) is a set of specifications describing the management of molecular information, chemical structure access and retrieval process. The specification makes use of the representational and translational capabilities offered by Cemical Markup Language (CML). The CSAR specification describes interfaces to: · Transform legacy file formats into CML representations that make use of CML’s Jumbo interfaces, · Validate the CML representation that makes use of the CMLDOM interface. · Search, create (register), replace, update, and delete chemical components. · Estimate the loss of information when searching different proprietary (legacy) databases
s that facilitate searches and allow the creation of collections. Situations that are not described explicitly can be addressed by extending the types and using the conventions described in this document. The standard was developed starting from the practical need to represent complex bodies of data in a natural way. Existing practice and terminology is used wherever this was available and practical. |
