CJK IDS database

[Andrew Pantyukhin]

Hi!

I find Ideographic Description Sequences massively useful for studying and
describing Chinese characters. However, I found only one comprehensive
source of them — http://macchiato.com/ids/

Does anyone know where the files come from? Were they part of the IRG
process, or just an isolated effort? What are the private use characters in
the sequences?

I'd like to contribute to the IDS database and incorporate it into products
like wiktionary and rikaikun.
