    Hey, i'm not totally sure if this is the right place to put a DB appraisal (seems to be Domains -> Appraisals) but didnt see a better place for it.

    The database includes the following
    10,090 chinese words and for every word it has
    the english definition of the word
    the chinese characters
    the pinyin (phonetic pronuciation of the characters)
    a letter and number representation of the pinyin IE lÇŽo is the pinyin and the letter and number reprentation is lao3
    unique id number

    an entry in the database looks like this
    ID: 1144
    Pinyin: zuòpǐn
    English: works (of art)
    Chinese: 作品
    Letter and Number: zuo4 pin3

    Also there are 2036 recorded files, one for each sound in chinese. With these 2036 sounds you can make up any of the 10,090 words in the database. They are named to go along with the letter and number combinations, so if you played zuo4 it would be that sound. Together zuo4 and pin3 would make the word.

    I have this database in access and in my sql.

    Anyhow what do you guys think this is worth? Oh and i do have full and complete rights to all of it.

    I have a site http://www.chinese-symbols.com and I think I can make some guess work on it..

    If you plan to sell many copies of this DB to users, it should go around $50 each. If you want to make site on this or give to one person only, then it should be worth around $400 or so.
