m History: SMILES is significantly easier to read compared to InChI

It has since been modified and extended by others, most notably by [[Daylight Chemical Information Systems]]. In 2007, an [[open standard]] called "OpenSMILES" was developed by the [[Blue Obelisk]] open-source chemistry community. Other 'linear' notations include the [[Wiswesser Line Notation]] (WLN), [[ROSDAL]] and [[SYBYL Line Notation|SLN]] (Tripos Inc).
 
In July 2006, the [[International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry|IUPAC]] introduced the [[International Chemical Identifier|InChI]] as a standard for formula representation. SMILES is generally considered to have the advantage of being slightly more human-readable than InChI; it also has a wide base of software support with extensive theoretical backing (such as [[graph theory]]).
