The data processing system stores data such as chemical structures, geographic locations, taxonomy, genus synonyms, and textual descriptions and related natural products images such as images of the organisms, and geographic maps. The natural product images are correlated with the natural products data to allow display of the images with the related data. The data processing system further correlates the data products data and images stored in the system with remote databases, such as those containing existing commercially available data, linking the remote data thus correlated for display.Other References
