This article describes the major aspects involved in the development, by Utlas, of a shared cataloguing system capable of handling Chinese ideographic data. Utlas has been involved in the processing of various Asian languages including Japanese and Korean for several years. An outline of the various options available for processing Chinese characters is given. Retrieval mechanisms suitable for the Chinese language are also discussed.
