Is InChI extensible?

0

Yes, as InChI is composed of hierarchical layers, new layers could be added to the specification to refine the information represented by current layers. Future versions of InChI, for example, could include phase information and crystal structure, conformations, electronic states and additional classes of stereochemistry. Consideration is currently being given to further extension of the program to include polymers.
