I thought that was what you were asking for. At BibleTech 2008, there was a talk on generating cross-references. I can't find my handout of it, nor my notes. :( Going memory, the "simple" way is: Start with the PD version of _Naves Topical Bible_. * Convert the topical references to book, chapter, and verse, * At each BCV entry, list the topic, and other entries and source. Take the PD version of _Treasury of Scripture Knowledge_ * Convert the references to book, chapter, and verse, * At each BCV entry, list the topic, and other entries and source. Merge these two documents together, (the topical bible cross-reference); Create a concordance of the LXX; * Delete Words that appear within one standard deviation of the expected, for each book; * Convert the remaining words to BCV references; * At each BCV entry, list the word, and other entries and source. Create a concordance of the MT; * Delete words that appear within two standard deviation of the expected, for each book; * Convert the remaining words to BCV references; * At each BCV entry, list the word, and other entries and source. Create a concordance of (pick your Public Domain) Greek New testament; * Delete Words that appear within one standard deviation of the expected, for each book; * Convert the remaining words to BCV references; * At each BCV entry, list the word, and other entries and source. Merge these three concordances together. (The significant word concordance); Create a three word phrase concordance of the LXX; Create a three word phrase concordance of the MT; Create a three word phrase concordance of (pick your Public Domain) Greek New testament; Merge these three concordances together. (The three word phrase concordance); Merge these three documents together; (Topical bible cross-reference, significant word concordance, three phrase word concordance.) Supplement by adding list of people, places, and objects to your cross-reference database; Supplement by adding OT quotes in the NT. Supplement by adding OT allusions in the NT. (Don't forget to list the NT reference in the OT.) The talk mentioned a couple of other techniques that could be used to generate cross-references. I forgot that Google was my friend. http://www.supakoo.com/rick/ricoblog/content/binary/Rick%20Brannan%20BibleTech2008.ppt is a powerpoint presentation of that talk. xan jonathon _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
