We will review the InChI project, its deployment across many areas of chemistry, as well as several important research programs and scientific projects that are taking advantage of InChI to support their work. InChI with its associated InChIKey was developed as a non-proprietary open-access international standard to represent chemical structures and has just celebrated its tenth anniversary. The InChI standard continues to be developed and improved, further enabling the interlinking of chemistry and chemical structures on the web and cheminformatics projects. Global adoption of InChI in areas where chemical structures are well defined has been very strong for finding and linking chemical and biological information. Its acceptance and deployment in private, government and commercial databases (for example EBI UniChem –157 million; NIH/NCI/CADD/iRL – 133 million; NIH/PubChem - 110 million; RSC/ChemSpider – 71 million; Elsevier/Reaxys – 60 million; etc.) illustrates the success of InChI. Deployment of InChIKEY for searching chemical structures in Google and other search tools makes querying chemical structures broadly accessible.
