Thank-you for doing this.  It is much appreciated.  Is this a simple
(full name -> abbreviation) mapping or do you plan to include any
other information?

I'm afraid I haven't looked into the provenance/licensing of those
lists.  I suspect the users who provided them didn't either.  In the
case of CAS, I believe these abbreviations are derived automatically
from the list of word mappings at
http://www.cas.org/content/cas-standard-abbreviations#listinga , in
turn many of those are derived from the ISSN title word abbreviation
list (see http://www.library.illinois.edu/biotech/j-abbrev.html)

Will look into this.

Regards,
Rob.
