Methods for precise yet usable descriptions of virtually any topic are essential, especially for identification of chemical compounds and materials. Systematic nomenclature and precise chemical structures, if known, are the ultimate in description of chemical compounds. However, there has always been a pervasive need for brief, yet precise methods to register chemical compounds for use in both indexing and retrieval of additional information. The most predominant chemical registration system is the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry System, begun in 1965. The history and use of this system will be described, and its importance to a number of disciplines, not just chemistry, will be described.
对于几乎任何主题进行精确且实用的描述方法至关重要，尤其是在识别化合物和材料方面。如果已知系统命名法和精确的化学结构，那它们就是描述化合物的终极方式。然而，一直以来都普遍需要简洁而精确的方法来登记化合物，以便用于索引和检索其他信息。最主要的化学登记系统是化学文摘社（CAS）登记系统，始于1965年。将描述该系统的历史和用途，并阐述其对多个学科（而不仅仅是化学学科）的重要性。
