I made this suggestion over four years ago, and I'd like to know if this strategy is being implemented or not.
Let me suggest a modus operandi for current and future resources that are added to the Logos stable.
I think it makes a lot of sense to tag EVERYTHING that is a reference to another work, even if it is to a resource Logos does not currently have in its stable. To me, it is the ultimate proactive, preemptive approach to resource linking. I'm sure most Logos users would sleep a lot better knowing that when a new resource comes out, not only will all of the links in that resource link to what is available in Logos, but every earlier resource that has a link to that new resource will now work also...instantly, right out of the box.
Obviously, this entails doing some work in linking that may never come to fruition. But I'm quite sure the positive sentiment this M.O. would engender in the customer base would be worth every penny.
Let me just add that it isn't just an issue of engendering positive vibes...it's a matter of fulfilling the advertised functionality of Logos resources.
To explain what I am describing: I have requested for many years that Vetus Testamentum & Novum Testamentum be added to Logos due to the extraordinary multiplicity of references my Library has to those two journals (it's in the thousands for each). Even though those two titles are not offered by Logos (yet), I strongly advocate that Logos create cold hyperlinks to all VT & NT references NOW in every new resource that is added to the active Logos stable. Then, when Logos adds VT & NT, all of those previously created links will simply activate automatically because they have already been created during the production process of the previously published resources.
My query is whether this is the current approach. If it is, fabulous. If not, it needs to become the ACTIVE practice immediately. I'm super serious about this. We are all paying for this and have been for a long time.
