Since its inception over 10 years ago by IUPAC and with support from NIST, the InChI standard has been widely used in the publishing, database, and life sciences industries, as well as securing a strong foothold in academic research and the information community. The InChI Trust, a UK based not-for-profit, was founded in 2009 in order to support the continued development of the InChI. The vision for the InChI Trust is to provide a freely available Open Source structure representation algorithm to link and find information on defined chemical structures and to provide standards, apps, and other tools that will facilitate its use.In this presentation we will discuss the current status of the InChI projects, and show how the InChI Trust and IUPAC can continue to support the development of the InchI standard and how the community can help in this work.
