This view of the Bible is useful for (a) some Guide sections which are clause oriented (see Biblical person character guide), (b) keeping one's focus on precisely what is in this text without shadows of other texts, (c) analyzing the content of an event and gathering the data for storyboarding it, and (d) verifying the validity of event boundaries.
It is built through the following steps (I used excel):
1. run a clause search verb:ANY on the passage
2. retain only these columns: clause, reference, verb, verb sense, all semantic role fields, case frame.
3. drop duplicates
4. merge records that represent multiple instances of a role into a single line with multiple entities in a role
5. add pericope titles and Biblical events titles
Note a similar process could generate a useful view of grammatical roles.
Yes, there are better displays than simple Excel but I kept running into file size and type limits.
