Ad Hoc Committee on Chemical Nomenclature
>
link to Division VIII
At the General Assembly in Berlin, Dr. Edwin D. Becker (Secretary General)
was given responsibility for initiating a study of IUPAC's programs
in the nomenclature of chemicals - organic, inorganic, macromolecular
and biochemical - and developing recommendations for future activities.
He decided (with the concurrence of the other IUPAC Officers) that the
first step should be a broad-based meeting to explore the wide ramifications
of the subject. He recruited Dr.
Alan McNaught (member of IDCNS and CPEP) to lead this effort. A
round table discussion on "Representations of Molecular Structure: Nomenclature
and its Alternatives" has been organized for Washington, DC on March
10-11 to bring together nomenclature experts with representatives of
various groups that are current or potential users of IUPAC chemical
nomenclature (e.g., editors, publishers, database providers, patent
and international trade authorities) and individuals from major commercial
nomenclature services.
This group of about 35 participants from 12 countries is to help define
long-range needs and to provide recommendations for future directions
for IUPAC work in the field.
