Factbook references

Factbook References

Several data types associated with Factbook pages can be searched for in resources and in Community Tags.

These can be searched for directly:

•     Person <Person Jesus> — Finds mentions of biblical persons

•     Place <Place Jerusalem> — Finds mentions of biblical places

•     Thing <Thing dog> — Finds mentions of biblical things

•     Topic <Topic Law> — Finds mentions of topics

•     Biography <Biography Martin Luther> — Finds mentions of non-biblical notable persons

Note that the string specifier for all of these data types must exactly match the primary label of the person/place/etc., and that they are case-sensitive. Only <Person Simon (Cyrene)> will match Simon of Cyrene. <Person Simon of Cyrene> and <Person simon cyrene> will not work. It’s best to use the term picker in the Search panel or right-click to build these terms.[1]

Example person: An important feature of these tags is the ability of the user to add the tag to resources that are not tagged by Faithlife.

P9-1 Person Community Tags

So which Zechariah do I want? Some names or titles come back with so many options on the pick list that it is difficult to determine which one is the one you want. If you know the Bible Passage in which the name occurs, one can use the Context Menu or Information Panel to determine the correct datatype value:

P9-2 Person Context Menu

P9-3 Person Info Panel
 

If you don’t know a passage with a reference, one can use Factbook to identify the correct entry. First enter the name to find the “Show all for nnnn” at the bottom of the select menu.

P9-4 Factbook Drop Down

Scan the entries provided in the Top Results and Persons section – you may recognize the correct individual. Otherwise, find the personal name entry.

P9-5 Factbook Personal Name

The Factbook Personal Name record provides Key Article and Dictionaries sections:

P9-6 Factbook Page

However, Verbum does not tag all people with a distinct label.  From Sean Boisen:[quote]

We haven't yet shipped the dataset documentation for Biblical People (there's a lot to document!): but IIRC, as a matter of expediency, we only assigned unique identifiers to unnamed people who occurred at least five times in the text (or had some other rationale for distinguishing them). Otherwise we'd have piled up a lot of identifiers with virtually no information, which clutters other parts of the interface (like Factbook).

Example: in Gen 22:3, Abraham takes "two of his young men" with him to prepare to sacrifice Isaac. These young men are mentioned three times in this passage but not elsewhere, so we've curated no further information about them besides the generic "A servant".[2]

Factbook references using extensions

From Verbum Help:

[quote]These Factbook-related data types require {Section ...} extension terms:

•     Event {Section <Event The Israelites cross the Red Sea>} — Finds items/text tagged with the specified event

•     Sermon Theme {Section <PreachingTheme Wealth>} — Finds text tagged with the specified theme.

•     Cultural Concept {Section <Culture Assassination>} — Finds text tagged with the specified cultural concept. Complete ontology can be found in the Lexham Cultural Ontology Glossary.

Note that cultural concepts are hierarchical in the same way as Bible Senses. The = and  data type reference matching operators can be used to specify either this and only this heading (=) or this heading and all narrower/child headings ().

Biblical Annotation

Several datatypes associated with annotation of textual phenomena in the Bible require the {Section ...} syntax:

•     Speech Acts — {Section <SpeechAct = Info: Assert>}

•     Sentence Types — {Section <Sentence = Declarative>}

•     Hebrew Grammatical Constructions — {Section <GrammaticalConstructions = Root Pairs>}

•     Greek Grammatical Constructions — {Section <GrammaticalConstructions = 1st Condition>}

Other

•     Literary Typing {Section <LiteraryTyping = Gospel>} — Complete list of types can be found in the Lexham Glossary of Literary Types.[3]

To show the scope of the various sections, I have built a filter for the pericope “The Proclamation of John the Baptist” using the coding from verse Mark 1:6 as displayed in the context menu:

P9-7 Filter
Comments:

  • Only the lowest level event in the hierarchy is included in the filter
  • Only the first of 12 preaching themes is included
  • Only the second of 2 cultural concepts is included
  • Only the second of 3 literary types is included

The results:

P9-8 Filtered NRSV
