Integrating literature citing the JRC representative industrial nanomaterials and introducing the Nanomaterials InChI (NInChI)

Authors: Egon Willighagen and Iseult Lynch Text mining for (nano)materials is far from trivial. The proprietary SpringerNature Nano database extracts information for many materials, but it is not easy to find materials of a certain size in this database. Use of identifiers in text, for example as compact identifiers1, supports text mining. In a small…
