InChI names and keys provide a general identifier for a chemical structure that can be used to correlate chemical information in public and private data repositories. They are exposed, generated, and processed in many of Accelrys' software products and they are recorded in Accelrys' commercial databases.Although often thought of as a unique identifier, in many cases this is not true. How their uniqueness (or lack of uniqueness) creates opportunities and problems will be discussed.
