Academic and industrial researchers nowadays expect interactive, easy to use access to the scientific literature and supplementary information in order to satisfy their information needs quickly and comprehensively.To address these challenges major scientific publishers have begun to chemically enhance/enrich their scientific articles, reference works and eBooks with information based on chemical structures and reactions. Compound indexing, highlighting of chemical terms, one-click display of additional compound attributes and, most important, semantic linking to other relevant resources or information have been implemented. First and foremost enabling chemical structure searching in text sources offers benefits to the user never seen before by providing an additional, precise entry point to the full text. Sophisticated cutting edge technologies like chemical named entity extraction, chemical image recognition and automatic work-up of ChemDraw files are applied to fulfill these requirements.This lecture will give an overview of current implementations of the concepts listed above and will illustrate the benefits as well as the challenges and pitfalls by one concrete example project.
