Utilizing the basic structure of SURF, all relevant data for reproducing the experiment is readily available. Laboratory chemists can order chemicals, draw structures, calculate the masses of molecules, or compare NMR data without the need to consult separate files. Since most electronic laboratory journals already record the aforementioned parameters of the basic SURF structure, enforcing documentation compliance combined with automated data extraction and cleaning pipelines has the potential to make numerous new reaction data accessible in the SURF format and available for machine learning applications.
