I am wondering the same thing as I work on Naves. Chris' response to me was:
"The article title itself should be used for osisIDs as well as osisRefs
to the entries with those osisIDs."
So I take it that your example is what he meant.
The osisRef can have an optional prefix followed by a colon. In your
example it is MyLexName. If it is not present the OSIS manual says that
it refers to the same work. So <reference osisRef="Eve">See
Eve</reference> is proper.
I understand that this also means that if we have references to
something outside of the work that it needs to have the prefix as in
<reference osisRef="Bible:Gen.1.1">See Genesis 1:1</reference>
Also, I am under the impression that in a proper OSIS document that
every osisRef refers to something that is marked up with an osisID. In
the case of new OSIS Bible modules the <verse> tag is present, but older
ones it is implicit.
Is this correct?

Hi all,
I have to create a lexicon which contains links to it's own entries.
E.g. the text of "Adam" contains a ref to "Eve".
At the moment I did this with
<reference osisRef="MyLexName:Eve">See Eve</reference>
Is this good or bad style? Is this even valid? What is the right way to do
this.
An answer would be helpful, since the module is quote important.
Thanks a lot,
Joachim
