I'm about to embark on trying to write code to apply NACO normalization to strings (not for field-to-field comparisons, but for correctly sorting things). I was drivin to this by a complaint about how some Arabic manuscript titles are sorting. My end goal is a Solr filter, so I'm most interested in Java code. It doesn't look "hard" so much as "long and error-prone" so I'm hoping someone has already done this (or at least has a character map that I can easily convert to java). I've seen the code at the OCLC<http://www.oclc.org/research/activities/naco/default.htm>, but it's 10 years old and doesn't have a lot of the non-latin stuff in it. Evergreen has a perl implementation<http://git.evergreen-ils.org/?p=Evergreen.git;a=blob;f=Open-ILS/src/perlmods/lib/OpenILS/Utils/Normalize.pm>: that's probably where I'll start if no one has anything else.
