History & Current Status

The InChI Resolver is still in a prototype status, however its development has created Chembience (GitHub repository) as spin-off open-source project. As a Python-based, easily extentable platform, Chembience provides all infrastructure-related components (modern software delivery mechanism, web server, and database server) for the development of web-based (chemoinformatics) services. Chembience has been first released publicly in March 2018 and has since seen more than 10 releases. The InChI Resolver is now based on the developments which have been bundled in Chembience.
