KYLE: Why no headword index or Factbook links
Silly me - I just assumed that the "Appendix:Preaching Themes List" (230 terms in alphabetical order with definitions) were:
- indexed as headwords
- linked to their Factbook entry.
This is for the resource Husser, Lydia. Preaching Themes: Dataset Documentation. Bellingham, WA: Faithlife, 2016. I suspect there are other similar resources.
I think this is an opportunity for a significant improvement that shouldn't require programming.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

Hmmm... Logos.com insists I own this dataset; my library insists I don't own this dataset's documentation resource. That's odd.

They're not headwords in this resource (they're just a list of terms), but I agree that linking them (along with similar lists in other dataset documentation) to their Factbook pages is an obvious improvement. We'll add this to our list.

This is because the Verbum Foundations Plus v5 package you purchased had the dataset, but not the documentation. I'll check on this.

We've added the documentation license to that package, so you should own the documentation now.

Thank you very much! I have it now.
