  34 <h2>About the CHISE Project</h2>
  35 <p>
  36 The CHISE (CHaracter Information Service Environment) project attempts
  37 to collect and organize into a Knowledge-Base information about
  38 characters in the scripts of the world.  A new processing environment
  39 based on this architecture is currently under development.

 105 Based on the Ideographic Description Characters (IDS) in

 108 At the moment, we are using the characters in the Unicode tables as a
 109 reference.  The basic <emph>CJK Unified Ideographs</emph>, as well as
 110 <emph>Extension A</emph> and <emph>Extension B</epmph>, together more
 111 than 70000 characters are currently covered.
