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be called the Bricktionary :-) might look like: http://www.lugnet.com/database/elements/sample-2571.html It's woefully out-of-date with respect to the top bar and links, obviously, but that's OK because it's just a mock-up.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: http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/ http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/3.html http://www.lugnet.com/admin/plan/3a.html --Todd

(...) To start with the second point you mention: I don't think anyone should be obliged to used the `standard' nomenclature. As you say, for different applications the best name to use can vary for a piece. Even, if one wants to call a 1x1 brick a (...)
