Data Model Concept
-
Generally interfaces are used
to describe
the contents and functionality
of Objects.
-
We also use interfaces to describe
the relationships between
Objects.
-
Objects can implement many simultaneous
relationships.
-
The ability to merge/map/collate
data from completely different sources is specifically addressed.
-
This may be either completely
automatically or semi-automatically.
-
NB. There are no limitations
to the number of times data can be held, e.g.. multiple SMILES and/or depictions.

There are no limitations (minimum or maximum) on contents
of data.
The data model could hold multiple SMILES and/or depictions
for the same structure.
For example - 2D depictions generated by different means
-
-
preformatted
-
ChemSymphony 2D depiction - at different levels of complexity
-
Daylight depiction
-
any db or algorithm
