MAJOR BUG: Missing data in RVI for The Cambridge Paragraph Bible: Of the Authorized English Version

The Cambridge Paragraph Bible: Of the Authorized English Version. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1873.

The RVI appears at first glance to contain information only about verbs. See (Bug?) Missing Referent Tag person:God - Logos Forums which alerted me to the problem.

You are comparing different verses in the screenshot. The tagging for Mk 11:26 would come from a TR Greek base (Scrivener 1881). ESV comments on that verse but other (non-TR) translations include the verse with its RI.

We are looking into this. It will not be an easy problem to solve. as Dave pointed out, v26 is not present in SBLGNT which is the base for all of our person tagging in the NT. So adding entity tagging for verses that are only present in the Scrivener/KJV text type will take more infrastructure to ship.

No offense to you, personally, Jimmy. 'Parks' always means good information.

But this whole sequence 'looks' like amateur-hour with the 3 stooges. 'Oh, gee, Moe, majority texts have more verses! This is going to take some real work, Larry!'

Obviously, it's not amateur hour ... I'm sure when they selected SBLGNT, and began plugging away, it was quite obvious in design ... and not communicated to customers.

Disappointing.

Excuse me. I didn't know not to believe Logos - you're saying the alignment is actually SBLGNT --> Scrivener --> CPB i.e. the deliberate insertion of error into the results with an "oh, well, it's good enough for who it's for" or a "they're so sloppy they'll never notice." Over the years Logos has been slowly eroding my confidence in their product and my respect for evangelical "scholarship". Over the last year, Logos has behaved as if they recognize they have a problem. Don't underestimate the size of that problem.

No, I am not mad or angry, I am sad and disappointed - very disappointed that such and obvious error-producer shortcut got by any level of design.

No. The RVI, as it shows in the information panel, is aligned to Scrivener. The database that holds the Person tagging uses our base original language bibles (SBLGNT and LHB).
We have additional texts that are part of this database, but they are larger alternate texts. We have not (yet) incorporated all of the alternate readings that are used in the hundreds of bibles that we support into this database.
