Nomenclature used by LipidLynxX

The Nomenclature used by LipidLynxX is based on the widely used "Shorthand notation for lipid structures" published by Gerhard Liebisch, et al. (2013)*

Additional features for modified lipids including ordered controlled vocabularies and lipid levels matrix are introduced by LipidLynxX to perform cross level matching.
