CHISE project

About the CHISE Project

The CHISE (CHaracter Information Service Environment) project attempts to collect and organize into a Knowledge-Base information about characters in the scripts of the world. A new processing environment based on this architecture is currently under development.

News

• Koichi Kamichi has published chise_linkmap (a visualization system for CHISE character database), chise_swig_perl (a libchise wrapper for perl 5) and makettf (simple TTF binder), which were results of CHISE Conference 2005 and CodeFest Kyoto 2005.
• CHISE Conference 2005 has been held this October 13 (Thu), 14 (Fri) at Kyoto International Community House.
• CHISE-IDS Hanzi/Hanja/Kanji Searcher has been published.
