Line 18:
The '''simplified molecular-input line-entry system''' ('''SMILES''') is a specification in the form of a [[line notation]] for describing the structure of [[chemical species]] using short [[ASCII]] [[string (computer science)|strings]]. SMILES strings can be imported by most [[molecule editor]]s for conversion back into [[two-dimensional]] drawings or [[dimension|three-dimensional]] models of the molecules.
 
The original SMILES specification was initiated in the 1980s. It has since been modified and extended. In 2007, an [[open standard]] called OpenSMILES was developed in the [[open source]] chemistry community.1
