N1 - Funding Information:
This work was carried out as part of the project 'knowledge-based system for chemical compound design' sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology in Japan. We wish to thank here all the members of the project for the fruitful discussions we had and their constructive suggestions. In particular, we wish to thank Professor Sasaki and Dr Funatsu at Toyohashi University of Technology and Science for their suggestions about chemical information processing and for having permitted us the use of their program for attractive printing of chemical structures. We are also grateful to Mr Shiono in Fujitsu Keiyo Systems Engineering who implemented part of the graphic editor and to Ms Roy for her help.

N2 - A logic-based approach to expert systems for chemistry is discussed. In chemistry, most of the knowledge is expressed with chemical structural formulas. However, it is difficult to handle chemical structural formulas by using currently available logic programming languages. The logic programming language has been extended so as to include chemical structural formulas. This extended language/system named Chaus is presented in this paper. With Chaus language, the chemical knowledge is expressed in a natural way. The implementation to ensure practical efficiency and an application for drug design is also discussed.
