ABSTRACT
Chemical information, especially that concerning chemical reactions, is becoming increasingly available in a variety of computer-readable databases. CLiDE (Chemical Literature Data Extraction) is a new software project to help solve the problem of building substance and reaction databases. CLiDE uses a combination of imaging and artificial intelligence techniques to recognize a range of chemical diagrams and extract the information they contain. The steps necessary to transform a chemical structure drawing into a computer-readable output are detailed. Several examples are given to illustrate the scope of the current work.
