(...) Respectfully disagree. Animals are all related (1), and the nomenclature, driven by the Linnaeus classification system, reflects that relationship. Lego elements, except in limited cases, are not related to each other by derivation or (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

After thinking about this a lot, I think we need a nomenclature that is similar to the binomial nomenclature that they use for animals. These could be coupled to a standard name, such as lupus wilus, aka Wiley Coyote. The technical name would allow (...) (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)

I will be creating a set inventory database, with a web-based searchable interface, and will be, of course, needing some way to refer to each of the parts int he inventory.

It has been a while since I updated the page for the last time. Because I found a new job and had to move, I lately had not very much time over.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in an online LEGO parts & Inventory database... or if there is already one out there. If there's enough interest I would be willing to write a web-based database for it. I thought it would also be nice (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.inv)

One of the tasks of the bricktionary is to allow the identification of an in-hand Lego element. The user would supply various descriptor words based on what he sees of the object in front of him. What might then happen is a sort of expert system (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
