The Chemical Information Ontology (CHEMINF) aims to establish a standard in representing chemical information. In particular, it aims to produce an ontology to represent chemical structure and to richly describe chemical properties, whether intrinsic or computed.

The ontology URL is http://semanticchemistry.github.io/semanticchemistry/ontology/cheminf.owl

You can browse the ontology online at:

• BioPortal
• Ontology Lookup Service
• AberOWL

Validation reports can be found at:

• OBO Dashboard
