+What is 知世? (1)
+
+ 知 (Knowledge, Information)
+
+ 世 (world and age)
+
+Not only for worldwide,
+ but also for time (ancient → future)
+
+\f
+
+What is 知世? (2)
+
+・CHISE (CHaracter Information
+ Service Environment)
+ character information server
+
+・TOMOYO (Text Object Manipulator
+ and Outfit for YOurself)
+\f
+
+History (1)— Before UTF-2000
+
+・each character is
+ represented by coded character sets
+
+\f
+
+History (2) — UTF-2000 (1)
+
+・each character is
+ represented by character object
+
+\f
+
+UTF-2000 (2)
+
+・Every character related information
+ are stored in character database
+
+ - system gets property of character
+ from the database
+
+ - user can add characters by definition
+ → not only shape
+ → user can use own unification rule
+\f
+
+XEmacs UTF-2000
+
+・sample implementation of UTF-2000
+
+ based on XEmacs-Mule
+
+\f
+
+Problem of XEmacs UTF-2000
+
+・Require too big memory
+ → external database + lazy loading
+
+・There are no UTF-2000 based
+ external representations
+ → XML? for file
+ multipart/related
+ + application/char-info for MIME
+
+→ 知世 project
+\f
+
+Plan of 知世 (CHISE)
+
+(1) private character database
+ based on dbm like simple database
+
+(2) local character database server
+ (based on PostgreSQL?)
+
+(3) distributed server system
+ - How to sync
+ - Check conflicts and report
+\f
+
+Plan of 知世 (TOMOYO)
+
+(0) Complete UTF-2000
+ (a) complete XEmacs UTF-2000
+ and send MEGA patch
+ to xemacs-patches :-)
+ (b) implement GNU Emacs 21 UTF-2000
+
+(1) Multiple representation in one system
+
+(2) Character definition editor
+
+(3) Network representation
+\f
+
+Related Plan
+
+・Develop high quality character data
+ not depended on any character codes
+
+・Integrate glyph, shape and
+ type setting information
+ into the character database system
+
+・Searchable image based document database
+ (especially for classical
+ Chinese documents,
+ such as 拓本, 稀覯本)
