+Now, the [DOI ubiquity scripts](http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2008/09/ubiquity-fun-resolving-dois.html) I just blogged about,
+was just the beginning of things. Me exploring the environment and learning the JavaScript language.
+
+I start to become really interesting when we use these technologies to improve things. I am still not sure people will like the
+command line nature, but at least I will be a happy user. This is the setting: I'm blogging about some chemistry, like to add an
+InChI (or InChIKey) and add that [cool sechemtic markup](http://chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2006/12/including-smiles-cml-and-inchi-in.html)
+people have been blogging about, but I do not know (or want to know) the HTML details for that.
+
+Well, no worries, no more. Here comes *sechemtic-inchi* ([installer here](http://blueobelisk.sourceforge.net/people/egonw/sechemtic-inchi.html))!
+
+## Step 1
+
+I type in the InChI I want in my blog (example showing that of [methane](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane)):
+
+![](/blog/assets/images/ubiSechemticStep1.png)
+
+And, I select the InChI:
+
+![](/blog/assets/images/ubiSechemticStep1.5.png)
+
+After which I hit the Ubiquity shortcut (ALT-SPACE on Linux) and I type *sechemtic-inchi*:
+
+![](/blog/assets/images/ubiSechemticStep2.png)
+
+And, viola, there is my RDFa HTML code for chemistry:
+
+![](/blog/assets/images/ubiSechemticStep3.png)
+
+Now, with only minor amounts of fantasy, you can imagine where this is going: SMILES, InChiKey, etc, etc. Hook it up with
+[chemistry webservices](http://rguha.wordpress.com/2008/08/30/ubiquity-and-chemical-information/) to autoconvert
+SMILES to InChIKeys, and Bob's your uncle.
