+This document describes a set of chemistry services provided by [ChemSpider][1], [ChEBI][2] and [PubChem][3]
+ that can be used for the construction of chemistry workflows from the Taverna Workbench.
+
+Example workflows contained in the document show how some of the operations from the services in the set can
+ be invoked.
+They can also be downloaded as part of the [Chemistry Workflows pack][4] at myExperiment.

+##<h2>ChemSpider##
+
+[ChemSpider][5] is a chemistry search engine that has been built with the intention of aggregating and indexing
+ chemical structures and their associated information into a single searchable repository and making it
+ freely available to everybody.
+
+ChemSpider provides several Web services, and these are listed below together with their WSDL locations.
+
+###InChi Web service###
+WSDL: [http://www.chemspider.com/InChI.asmx?WSDL][6]
+
+<img src="/img/biocatalogue-smallcog.png" alt="BioCatalogue icon" width="16" height="16" />
+In BioCatalogue: [http://www.biocatalogue.org/services/2164][7]
+
+The InChI Web service provides operations to manipulate InChI Strings and InChIKeys,
+ including the conversion to and from the MOL file format, validity checking of InChI identifiers,
+ and searching ChemSpider using InChI inputs.
+
+Some of the Web service’s operations listed below require a “security token”.
+A security token can be obtained by completing the registration process for ChemSpider at
+[http://www.chemspider.com/Register.aspx][8].
+
+The following operations are contained within the InChI Web service:
+
+ - CSIDToMol<br/>
+ Converts a ChemSpider identifier to a MOL file. A security token is required to get access to this
+ service.<br />
+ [Example workflow][9]<img src="/img/linkext7.gif" border="0" alt="" width="7" height="7" align="absmiddle"/>
+
+ - GenerateInChI<br/>

+ the input InChI string that is not human-understandable.<br/>

+<h2><a name="chebi">ChEBI</a></h2>
+<p>Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (<a href="http://www.ebi.ac.uk/chebi/" target="_blank">ChEBI</a>) is a freely available database of molecular entities focused on ‘small’ chemical compounds. The term ‘molecular entity’ refers to any constitutionally or isotopically distinct atom, molecule, ion, ion pair, radical, radical ion, complex or conformer, identifiable as a separately distinguishable entity. ChEBI incorporates an ontological classification, whereby the relationships between molecular entities or classes of entities and their parents and/or children are specified.</p>
