Till, Bess, Ralph, >> assuming the algorithm for enriching the spellings of a word (from PinYin to Chinese) exists, will the result include both forms, PinYin AND Non-PinYin Chinese transliteration and BOTH forms will be indexed? >> the principle of indexing different forms for spelling a vertain word exists in name authority records, where a name (for ex. Pushkin) has over 30 forms of different spellings. The string of different names can be expended (Ralph¹s work with VIAF and with fuzzy logic in WorldCat/identities is definitely relevant here). maybe something is already underway (?) >> how large will the resulting index be? managable for medium-small installations of vuFIND?
