BUG: Resource type issue/datatype contents issue

MJ. Smith

Howard, Luke. The Apocrypha of the Book of Daniel. London: J. and A. Arch; Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green; Hatchard and Son; Harvey and Darton, 1829. is an example of how Logos tagging can, in effect, hide a resource. This volume which is primarily a translation of Biblical text with a short essay has a library type of monograph.

The translation text itself (The Story of Susanna; The Song of Azariah, and Hymn of the Three Children; The Story of Bel and the Dragon) lacks any milestones/references.

In short, I have paid for tagging in a book that is Bible text that I cannot find through the standard Bible reference search, or a library search on resource type, or in Factbook.  The ONLY way to find it is by a text search. When is the last time in order to find all occurrences of a Biblical text you checked each of these options:

• The milestone exists in the text
• The resource type is Bible and the title and/or subject is some variation of the text name
• The resource type is not Bible but the text matches some variation of the text name

I expect the excuse is that the translations are not versified. I agree that makes it more difficult but from a user perspective the fact that Logos built a structure that didn't take this option into account only exposes the ignorance of the data on the part of the designers. At a minimum, a single milestone at the beginning of each translation would make the translation visible to the user. As it stands, it looks like Logos provided the resource solely to up the count of books in a collection without ever considering if the user could use the book.

Please focus on the customer and make this Bible translation accessible as a Bible translation.

This bump should get you an answer.
