ChemSymphony has at its core an object-model or data-model which is used 'as needed' by all the Beans. The data-model is arguably the key to ChemSymphony's breadth. The data-model was designed with chemistry in mind and it is 'open-ended' in the sense that it can and is being added to and improved. The basic issue in demonstrating ChemSymphony's interoperability with Daylight is a matter of mapping the two data-models onto each other. The usual line of attack for any ChemSymphony enhancement or improvement is to develop modular code: for example to differentiate between 'filters' which translate between data-streams in a universal fashion and 'adapters' which handle the practical details of network connections and communications.

 We shall now demonstrate how this connectivity works.
