Overview

SDC-0002-021-JE-2032

Problem

Chemical substances and biological organisms are identified and represented inconsistently in Agency data systems.

Representations include varying code sets, nomenclatures, and formats.

Makes searches based on names very difficult.

Hampers information sharing.
