Talk:CAS registry number
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Name
I think the full name is Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number, so I redirected it here. Should the article be moved to the full name? The abbreviated name is far more common. -- Kjkolb 09:44, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
- Cas.org itself uses the registered trademark "CAS Registry Number®". I'd say keep it. The capitalization doesn't match though. However since it will usually be used descriptively in the articles and not as a proper noun, that seems fine too for our purposes. Femto 14:10, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

- Okay, thanks. I've been working on topics that other encyclopedias and other sources have and Wikipedia doesn't, so I've been asking a lot of questions on talk pages when I'm not sure about something. :-) Kjkolb 16:04, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Categorizing chemical substances and providing structures as data files
- In my opinion all chemical substances should be provided as data files, preferably as (compressed) Chemical Markup Language and/or Chemical table files including all informations, like CAS, physicochemical data, etc.
- All those entries should be categorized, which will allow any mining scheme to collect informations from those files.
