Abstract
During the past few years interest has grown in the development of standard formats for the machine-readable presentation of chemical structures, and a few proposals have been published. One of these is the Standard Molecular Data (SMD) format, developed by a group of European chemical companies. Under the auspices of the Chemical Structure Association, a series of technical working groups have examined the original version of SMD format and proposed a number of revisions and extensions. This poster paper describes the revised version of the format using annotated examples, and discusses the areas where further extension is required.
