InChI Trust
The InChI Trust is a not-for-profit organisation which promotes and improves the International Chemical Identifier standard for describing chemical substances.[1]
History and current status
The InChI Trust was formed in 2009, and was granted charitable status in 2010. The Trust's Project Director is Steve Heller.
Continuing development
Scientific direction of the InChI standard is carried out by the IUPAC Division VIII Subcommittee, and funding of subgroups investigating and defining the expansion of the standard is carried out by both IUPAC and the InChI Trust. The InChI Trust funds the development, testing and documentation of the InChI. Current extensions are being defined to handle polymers and mixtures, Markush structures, reactions and organometallics, and once accepted by the Division VIII Subcommittee will be added to the algorithm.
