There are many formula databases, but accessing rich information efficiently is difficult due to the small-scale data and lack of intelligent search engine.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We selected 38,000 formulas from a semi-structured database, and then segmented text, extracted information, and standardized terms.
