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.
