结论在本次研讨会的介绍中，有人指出，随着世界各地数以百计的工业和政府用户的WLN，有关其应用的出版物的数量一直在减少。这可能是大量使用化学文摘社（CAS）登记号和通过计算机图形终端直接输入和输出化学结构信息的新进展的结果。显然，任何化学信息的最终用户，无论是化学家还是信息科学家，都更喜欢化学结构图，不应低估WLN作为复杂计算机系统的化学唯一性的智能寄存器的用途。一些可取的特点包括它的能力，成为透明的所有，但参与化学信息科学家，其成本低，每台计算机输入，其便携性，和其可转移性。虽然过去对WLN的狂热活动已经减弱，但仍有以下关键活动可供继续使用：（1）在WLN编码的现有大型结构文件中;（2）作为复杂系统的入口点，直接
CONCLUSIONSIn the introduction of this symposium, it was stated that with the hundreds of industrial and government users of the WLN over the world, the volume of publications about its application has been decreasing. This may be an effect of the intense use of the Chemical Abstracts Services’(CAS) registry numbers and thenewly seen advances in direct input and output of chemical structure information via computer graphics terminals.While it is evident the end user of any chemical information, be it chemist or information scientist, would prefer a chemical structure diagram, the use of WLN as an intelligent regis-tration of chemical uniqueness for a sophisticated computer system should not be underrated. Some of the desirable characteristics include its ability to become transparent to all but the involved chemical information scientist, its low cost per computer entry, its portability, and its transferability. While the feverish activity involved in the past over WLN has abated, there remain these key activities for its continued usage:(1) In existing large files of structures encoded in WLN;(2) as an entry point for a sophisticated system, directly
