title: How to add chemical abstracts service registry numbers and structures to databases via chemical names comparison
abstract: For the conversion of nonstructural chemical databases to structure databases, a series of algorithms to find the closest match between existing names to names in a reference database are described. On the basis of the best match, new fields such as the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN) or structures were added to the database.
