Reaction steps are organized as belonging to particular reaction protocols within a database. Each reaction may represent a discrete step in a multi-step protocol for making a final product from a starting reactant. To populate the database, a system receives information separately from a plurality of references (e.g., literature articles, patent publications, etc.). Such information typically includes descriptions of reaction steps presented in the references (e.g., detailed recipes for performing the reaction steps). Alternatively, or in addition, the methodology includes identifying at least one protocol specified in the reference, which protocol comprises two or more reaction steps, and then specifying that the two or more reaction steps belong to the protocol. |
