[quote user="Dan DeVilder"] I still don't see a "Biblical People" tree for that passage (15:36-41).[/quote] No, we don't have a diagram for that particular incident (and many many many others ). Our goals were to make sure every person was in at least one diagram (I believe we accomplished that, at least for named people), and where possible we that

[quote user="Floyd Johnson"]Given that more and more laptops (and computers(?)) are shipping without DVD drives, are there any plans to make these videos available for download in some fashion. [/quote] Floyd: We don't have any plans at present to provide other formats than physical DVDs. Your best bet for computers that don't have DVD drives is to

Ted: I think this is a great application of the video material. Can i suggest you add it to the wiki under http://wiki.logos.com/Learn_to_Use_Hebrew_videos so others will be able to find it easily in the future?

[quote user="Fred"]Those that find errors should report them all here. This will not only help Logos if it is interested in fixing them, but it will also help those of us that are total original language tyros (who might otherwise not spot the errors).[/quote] Yes, please do! Preferably: after checking the Technical FAQs and relevant sections of the

I am currently applying a persuader to those files. But if any of you videophiles have a clue as to why, let me know. [/quote] I don't know the technical reason for this, but

Bohuslav, Kevin: Actually we have noticed (and fixed) it: this and a number of other map fixes (that people haven't noticed yet ) should be getting released soon. However, Kevin's advice is correct: if you find issues like this, please report them to data@logos.com.

Just to expand a little: you can create new pages on topics.logos.com for concepts you think we ought to have. See http://topics.logos.com/Example_Topic_Page for an example: in particular, free to add alternate labels, and links to dictionary articles that you think are relevant. It would be better if you can search a little first to see if there's

Francis, Rosie: Can you help me understand what behavior you want to see (whether L3 Topic Search was a faithful implementation of that or not)? Heading search is underway: not enough resources are tagged this way yet to make it highly useful, but we're revising more resources to enable this, and our goal is for all new resources to have headings be

Mark: Could you articulate for me what you wish topic searching/browsing was like in 4.0? Can you walk me through a scenario of how you would use it?
-
But can you walk me through an example? What would you type, what would you see, how would that support something you need or want to do? Here's an example i just walked through in LDLS 3 (though it's a bit contrived, since this isn't a feature i used in LDLS3): After opening the Topic Browser, i type "brook" in the Find box LDLS searches and finds

I can manage a quick answer to Todd's question about alternate search (i'll save the larger issues for tomorrow when i'm a bit more coherent). The "Search for () instead" expands the search terms, which usually provides a larger set of search results. For example, with my library searching for "communion" returns 13,559 results in 8,075 articles. The

Jonathan: Biblical People in Logos 4 really is a new resource, like Biblical Places and Biblical Things: it is not simply a format change. We completely revised the data, added groups of people and other individuals, created an entirely new set of People Diagrams, added other relationships, and much more. All the content and functionality of L3 is secure

M.J.: We've done some work to incorporate the deuterocanonical books into Biblical People/Places/Things, but it's not yet complete in at least two ways: As far as the actual items, we cover many but not all People, probably most Places, and most Things References to the deuterocanonical books are definitely incomplete (probably again pretty good for

Jonathan: I don't know the percentage (i'm not in sales), but there is definitely an academic discount for the upgrade price. If you can't find it on the web, or you're not sure if the calculator is showing you the discounted price, you should follow Bohuslav's advice and call academic sales.
-
Jonathan: Please go ahead and post your questions here in the forum, in a separate thread with a clear subject if they're different than this one. If you're wondering somebody else probably is too, and the forums are an effective way to disseminate such information. We're also getting a lot of helpful support from the larger community, so somebody else

Jon: A few months ago there was a 1:1 correlation: the initial set of pages on topics.logos.com were generated from our concepts data. We created that site to invite community participation, including constructing reading lists adding other synonyms ("Alternate labels"). As an example, it looks like somebody has added synonyms like "synoptic apocalypse

[quote user="Dave Hooton"]I think many of us would still like to separate Topics and Basic Search or at least have a Basic Search as per v3 and rename L4's search to be "Concept Search" as that would do justice to what you are trying to achieve.[/quote] Dave: Going forward, we definitely plan to enrich the ways in which concepts are used in L4. Thanks

Let me try to shed some light on all the helpful comments this thread has produced. My goals are to explain what Logos 4 can do today, and to give some sense of where it's going next. But i'll tell you up front that our work on topics is not yet complete. There are a few issues mixed together in this thread: what is a topic in L4 and how do i find and

The easiest way currently is to right-click on a word or phrase, select the Selection tab, and do a search. But i can see the benefit of Power Lookup including these results as well: thanks for the suggestion. As far as i can tell, topic indexing in journals isn't exposed in the interface. Somebody mentioned using topic:someterm in search, but that
