| Literature related to the field of nanotechnology is growing rapidly – 1.8 percent of the records covered by Chemical Abstracts Service in 2000 contained the term “nano”; in 2005 that percentage had grown to 4.9 percent, and in 2007 it was over 8 percent. As expected, CAS scientists are seeing a quickly evolving nomenclature in this relatively new field of science. This presentation will discuss some of the examples and problems encountered in processing nano information, and solutions that CAS is adopting for indexing and substance representation. Specific examples will be illustrated. |
