The Legacy: Rescue from the "digital dark ages"

• Normalisation to XHTML documents (Tidy, X2htm)
• Free text regular expression pattern matching for adding e.g. regularly expressed spectral, experimental molecule information
• Bit-map image handling: Difficult, but partially possible in some cases (Neural Net-based machine vision, gif2svg, etc)
• Molecules:
  • Normalising diverse (around 15) mechanisms for transcluding Connection tables/Coordinates in HTML
  • Cleaner separation of molecule data from its presentation
  • Addition of metadata (audit trail)
  • Conversion to XML components
  • Visual verification/editing
• ChemDig (robot-based harvesting)
• JUMBO Molecule browsing
