InChIs, International Chemical Identifiers, are elements of metadata which can be added to articles about chemical compounds. This metadata can then be extracted and processed automatically (unlike conventional Wikipedia content), and will eventually allow searching of Wikipedia by molecular structure. The addition of an InChI will not affect the normal display of an article since the information remains hidden unless a user sets their user stylesheet to display it.
