Sybrand,
Since you're looking at an incredibly huge undertaking, be sure to seek out
and make the most of every last bit of info you can find on the net about
anything related to this. (But don't give up! :-)
Here are some related things which may help as food for thought:
1. This is an old mock-up page from May of '98 showing what the LUGNET
elements registry (maybe it'll be called the Bricktionary :-) might
look like:
http://www.lugnet.com/database/elements/sample-2571.html
It's woefully out-of-date with respect to the top bar and links,
obviously, but that's OK because it's just a mock-up. It gives a
couple naming nomenclatures and both opaque and clear versions of
an LDraw-rendered image of the element, and ties into parts inventories
and the marketplace.
2. This is a browseable and massively-hyperlinked collection of parts
inventories contributed by Tim Vattima and converted to a web front-end:
http://www.lugnet.com/inv/tv/
The level of hyperlinked-ness is nice, but it also uses another third
set of parts names.
3. Here are some discussion threads from earlier this year and last fall
about element stuff -- fuzzy categories, searching, misunderstandings,
etc.:
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/database/?n=128
http://www.lugnet.com/market/auction/?n=1557
http://www.lugnet.com/admin/database/?n=15
I'm sure there's lots more if you dig deeper too.
4. And finally, here's more background info on LUGNET data repository
stuff:
