Ontological status of chemical formula

In papers about the philosophy of science, and especially in philosophy of chemistry, the discussion focused to the meaning of chemical formula appeared frequently in recent years. The main question is about the role of chemical formula as a possible barrier of deeper information. There are two opposite opinions of which the first argues that the formula is only the working symbol derived from the corresponding nomenclature, while the second propose the explanation that formula represents an unended origin of chemical information. I will represent here the short history of chemical formula, the ideas behind it, and the role of chemical formula in the construction of basic chemical concepts.
