One thing that overwhelms new Logos/Verbum users is the vocabulary from linguistics, grammar, syntax, and semantics which is unfamiliar to most non-seminary trained users. This results in users who have used Logos for years in a certain workflow discovering that they have taken a long route to information that had a short route because they did not understand the vocabulary or that they have misunderstood what an interactive or label was capturing resulting in incomplete data for years. I suggest that Logos/Verbum provide a dictionary of every label/term used for Logos data along with a definition, synonyms, hypernyms, and hyponyms. And that Logos commit to frequent, regular updates based on user feedback on missing terms. This could be built into Factbook or a dedicated wiki.
An expanded version which would be helpful for seminarians would add the vocabulary of major grammar and syntax texts mapped onto the Logos terminology. This would target a different audience than the core proposal.
