Chem4Word

The Chem4Word project was sponsored by Microsoft Research to support the authoring and rendering of semantically-rich chemistry information in Word 2007 documents.

The goal of the Chem4Word project is to enable authoring, display, and mining scenarios for chemistry-related information within Office Word. Specifically, we aim to:

  • Provide easy authoring of chemical information within Microsoft Office Word 2007 documents
  • Allow end-user denotation of inline "chemical zones"
  • Render high-quality, print-ready visual depictions of chemical structures
  • Store and expose chemical information in a semantically rich manner to support publishing and mining scenarios, for authors, readers, publishers, and other vendors across the broad chemical information community
