I'm planning on doing the above (Spelling, Thesaurus, and
Grammar checker) and I was thinking of how to implement it.

I thought it would be neet if there was a documented distribution method
for submitting new words and definitions to and from online databases
(sorta like CDDB.) I also thought up some scheme for my databases

Word Table
word#(PK),word

Word Type Table
type#(PK),type,description

 where type is like noun,verb,...
 description is like for noun = person,place,thing,idea

Definitions Table
definition#(PK),definition

 this way if multiple words have the same definition it only needs to be
 entered once.

Dictionary Table
[definition#,word#](PK),relation#,type,pronunciation

 this relates the word table and definition table and also provides a
 place for the type, relation and pronunciation.

Thesaurus Table
relation#(PK),multirelation#,general_definition

 the multirelation would be a pointer to another more general definition
 in the same table. This provides three levels of a thesaurus lookup
 A. same definition B. relation# and C. multirelation and the
 multirelation can be recursive.

Grammar Table
sentence_structure(PK),description

 where sentence structure is made up of word types and delimeters
 example entry: assuming 1 relates to verb
 1!
 the description for the above sentence structure would be
 Implicit.

That's it. Is there a better way to implement the above feature's?
Is there a program out there that is simalar?

I can program this if not =)

Please resond

Thanks,

Jeff Sadowski
