In an unrelated thread (http://community.logos.com/forums/p/44253/395169.aspx#395169), there has been some discussion about Logos tagging resources based on the underlying theology and/or denomination.  This has proven a controversial topic in the past, but it seems to me that Logos could easily tag resources for us, using little more than the descriptions they use in marketing.

Someone requested that I post examples of a few tagged resources to show what I mean.  Rather than do this, I thought I would try to create some rules that might work, although individual resources could also be tagged.

Please try to keep comments on this thread constructive.  The rules are only suggestions and I think that they can be greatly improved.  Please refrain from arguments about theology, as this is outside of forum rules.  Thanks.

    I love the idea, it could prove very useful. However, I don't think Logos is interested in getting involved in this because it's potentially controversial, and would add overhead to their publishing processes. Thankfully, the tools are already there (collections) for us to do it ourselves, and I think this is a great project for the community to pick up and put on the Wiki.

    Pretty nifty, Andrew.

    OK ... I'll take back EVERYTHING I said.

    I DO think the approach you used above is very good. A user can apply the definitions as desired (not forced on them).

    I will be keeping your work; if you update, I hope you'll share.

    Episcopal/Anglican

    Author:(“Hall, Francis”, “Stott, John”, “Wright,
    N.T.”) OR Publisher:(“SPCK”) OR Abbrev:(“CPC”)

    I would change to:

    Author:("Alford, Henry",“Hall, Francis”, “Stott, John”, “Wright,
    N.T.”) OR Publisher:(“SPCK”) OR Abbrev:(“CPC”)

    Roman Catholic

    Author:(“Armstrong, Dave”, “Balthasar”, “Guarino,
    Thomas”, “Hunter, Sylvester Joseph”, , “Ratzinger”) OR Publisher:(“Herder”,
    “Ignatius”, “Libreria Editrice Vaticana”, “Liturgical Press”, “The Encyclopedia
    Press”, “United States Conference of Catholic Bishops”)

    I would change to:

    Author:(“Armstrong, Dave”, “Balthasar”,"Brown, Raymond", "Chesterton, G. K.","Cornelius À Lapide","Green, Barbara",“Guarino,
    Thomas”,"Haydock, George", “Hunter, Sylvester Joseph”,"Pilch, John","MacEvilly" , “Ratzinger”) OR Publisher:("George Routledge",“Herder”,
    “Ignatius”, “Libreria Editrice Vaticana”, “Liturgical Press”,"Pontifical Biblical Institute", “The Encyclopedia
    Press”, “United States Conference of Catholic Bishops”) OR Title:"The Papal"

    Early Catholic

    Author:(“Aquinas”, “Thérèse of Lisieux”, “St.
    John of the Cross”) OR Abbrev:(“ACCS”, “ANF”, “NPNF”)

    I don't know where the cutoff is between the two Catholics, but attempting to keep the distinction I would change this to

    Author:("Anselm of Canterbury",“Aquinas”,"Bede","Benedict of Nursia","Cyril of Alexandria","Origen","Teresa of Avila","Theodore of Mopsuestia", “Thérèse of Lisieux”, “St.
    John of the Cross”) OR Abbrev:(“ACCS”, “ANF”, “NPNF”)

    I'd add Restoration Movement:

    Author:("Lucado, Max") OR Publisher:("Standard")

    That's my first cut at refining. I know I'll have more.

    This looks pretty accurate.  It is not exhaustive, but it definitely helps someone wade through all of the books and get an idea of each's corpus.  I myself, being Reformed/ Baptist have enjoyed reading the catholic collection.  I didn't know who the authors were in that until I did more research.  It is good for many reasons, most of all being those that posit a particular stance, are noted for that denomination.  Obviously, not totally orthodoxically representative of that particular denomination of faith, but a good indicator.

    Excluding what I have hidden, this is my library profile. I'm sure it
    can be improved in terms of narrowing the "beat's me/I don't
    know/unclassified" portion:

    This is a great start! I think it would make a great wiki page for people to add to.

    Lutheran

    Author:(“Lenski”, “Leupold”, “Luther,
    Martin”) OR Publisher:(“Concordia”, “Northwestern Publishing House”)

    I would revise that to pick up a few more titles:

    title:lutheran OR subject:lutheran OR author:("H. C. Leupold", "Martin Luther", "Gene Edward Veith") OR publisher:(augsburg, fortress, concordia, "Northwestern Publishing House","Lutheran Publication Society")

    Note that you don't have to put quotes around something that is just one word with no spaces in it. And I omitted Lenski, because he gets picked up by the additional Lutheran publishers I listed.

    You can also check out the resources Logos has identified as belonging to a particular theological/denominational group. For example,

    http://www.logos.com/products/search?Christian+Group=Lutheran

    These are the groups they list on the left sidebar of their Products page, if you click More to expand:

    Their tagging of resources is by no means complete.

    This all looks good and we could spend quite some time honing it between us.  My post was to make it look doable, and potentially useful.

    However, my basic point is that Logos are willing to label resources for marketing purposes, as Rosie points out, so my request is that they simply add these tags to the actual resources within Logos and create collections based on them, thus saving hundreds or thousands of us creating these collections for ourselves.  The question of what to label resources is addressed by someone before resources are marketed, and I'm not suggesting that all resources should necessarily be labelled.  I don't think labels should be exclusive, so that a resource can only fall in one category.  (They're currently not exclusive when used for marketing purposes.)  If Logos did this, then suggestions for additional tags, or mistakes, could be added to the wiki, just as with other suggested changes regarding categorisation (possibly at http://wiki.logos.com/Metadata_correction_proposals or on its own webpage).  It is an extra feature, but I think it could be really helpful, and Logos implementing it could save many people having to duplicate the work.

    Until they do, it's probably worth keeping suggestions coming.

    Thanks for all the constructive comments so far.

    As it looks like Logos are unlikely to do this any time soon, I thought I'd have a go at updating the rules.  They're still far from perfect, so please keep suggestions/corrections coming.  The latest list, largely based on Logos' own labelling for marketing purposes, looks like this:

    I like this - can we use these rules to assign tags - or to just build collections?

    You could use it to assign tags, but I think it might be very tedious - you can't just copy and paste the author list of some of the larger sets into the Library Filter box, it will truncate the list; so you would need to add them manually.

    That said, I think the biggest reason to use it for Collections, is that collections are dynamic - if you add future resources by authors in the list, they will automatically go into the correct Collections. Whereas if you did set up tags, they are static  and you would have to manually checxk to see if new resources need to be tagged.

    Andrew, thank you so much for doing this. Very helpful indeed!

    Since you are continuing to hone these rules, some feedback...

    First, you acknowledged my suggestion in this post but then didn't incorporate my suggested changes to pick up more Lutheran titles.

    Also, some suggested improvements to your Anabaptist rule because it misses some books that I have in my library and that are tagged Anabaptist by Logos on their website.

    Anabaptist

    Author:(“Finger, Thomas”, “Simons, Menno”) OR Publisher:(”Herald Press”, “Mennonite”)

    Additions marked in bold, and "Anabaptis" isn't a typo! (See below.)

    Author:(“Finger, Thomas”, “Simons, Menno”) OR Publisher:(”Herald Press”, “Mennonite”) OR Title:(Anabaptis, Mennonite)

    That will pick up these additional titles that didn't match your rule:

    It's quicker doing it that way than listing every author individually, though you could if you prefer as all those authors have only one book each in Logos (thus far) so it won't pick up unwanted ones.

    And I'll repeat and elaborate on my comment from the previous post: I wrote, "Note that you don't have to put quotes around something that is just one word with no spaces in it." Actually, if you want that word to match other words forms (e.g., Mennonite or Mennonites; Anabaptist, Anabaptism, Anabaptists) you must not put quotes around it. Hence my inclusion of only the partial word Anabaptis and no quotes, so it will match all three.

    First, you acknowledged my suggestion in this post but then didn't incorporate my suggested changes to pick up more Lutheran titles.

    The problem is that while Augsburg-Fortress is the publishing house of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, it does not just publish Lutheran works, and so would provide many false positives, so to speak.  Systematic Theology: Roman Catholic Perspectives by Galvin and Schuessler-Fiorenza, for example, is not Lutheran, even if it is a good book...  They publish a lot of Brueggemann, and he is UCC, and not technically Lutheran.  Heck, Moltmann is technically not Lutheran either - my understanding is that he has been a member of the Union Church in Germany and then moved to German Reformed.

    On the other hand, Concordia and Northwestern Publishing houses do have a doctrinal review process to make sure that what they publish is according to the faith their bodies confess...

    OK, so where will the final list be kept? [Files, wiki, elsewhere?] [leaving the last list here does not seem to be an option] 

    Also, it was stated, by Don Awalt, "that collections are dynamic" BUT "you can't just copy and paste the author list of some of the larger sets into the Library Filter box, it will truncate the list"

    Work a round: Instead of one very long list what if the "final" list have shorter groups that could be used to make a collection by the 'copy and paste' method.

    For example: the current Baptist 'set' is ten lines long [as I see it on my screen]
    So we break that list up into ten sections [or more as I don't know what the limit is to a collection rule]
    Baptist 00 though Baptist 10 [list zero though nine as 00 01 - 07 08 09 so that they sort correctly or sets x1, x2, x10 will sort as x1, x10, x2 but sets y01, y02, y10 will sort y01, y02, y10, 1 2 0 [digits] are seen as letters not numbers in the sort]

    Yes, we would need several collections to cover each denomination but we need to work within the limitations of our tools [i.e. Logos] [ten sets for the Baptist and thirty one sets for the Catholic]  [Not ideal but usable]

    Also as new authors or publishing houses are added then additional sets can be added at the end of the list section without editing a working set.

    Also Ken McGuire makes a good point that we need to consider:
    Triggering off his comments [i.e. not quoting] not all publishing houses are "pure" and that authors change or are just not easily classifiable [maybe as Generic Christian?].

    This will not help us in deciding what to buy but will advise us what we are looking at that we already have.

    In the list for Seventh-day Adventist you need to add something to the effect of:     author:white, ellen, subject:ellen white writings

    The above gives me 404 resources.

    Cannot figure out how to incorporate into the Collection for Seventh-day Adventist.

    Thanks for all the suggestions.  Apologies for not taking up all the suggestions the first time.  I thought I'd changed these back in September.  Thanks especially to John for the long and reliable list for Dispensational, though I've amended it slightly and added a few more, so please feel free to suggest more corrections, additions, etc.

    The latest list is:

    Baptist

    Author:(“Anders, Max”, “Batten, Samuel Zane”, “Boyce, James Petigru”, “Brand, Chad Owen”, “Brisco, Thomas V.”, “Broadus, John Albert”, “Bush, L. Russ”, “Butler, Trent C.”, “Cabal, Ted”, “Cadenhead, Al”, “Caner, Emir”, “Caner, Ergun”, “Chapman, Morris”, “Collinson, Sylvia”, “Copan, Paul”, “Corley, Bruce”, “Cox, Stephen L.”, “Crosby, Thomas”, “Dagg, John L.”, “Dallimore, Arnold”, “Dockery, David S.”, “Draper, James T.”, “Easley, Kendell H.”, “Erickson, Millard”, “Estep, William R.”, “Fitts, Leroy”, “Forlines, Leroy”, “Fortner, Don”, “George, Timothy”, “Hankins, David E.”, “Henry, Carl”, “Henry, Jim”, “Hester, Hubert I.”, “Hixson, J. B.”, “Hobbs, Herschel”, “Holmes, Michael W”, “Keathley, Kenneth”, “Larkin, Clarence”, “Lawson, Steven J.”, “Lemke, Steve W.”, “Lightner, Robert”, “Lovejoy, Grant I.”, “MacArthur, John F.”, “MacLaren, Alexander”, “Martin, Albert N.”, “Martin, Steve”, “McBeth, H. Leon”, “McCune, Rolland”, “Mobley, Kendal P.”, “Montgomery, Helen Barrett”, “Mullins, E. Y.”, “Nettles, Tom J.”, “Norman, R. Stanton”, “Olford, Stephen”, “Paschal, H. Franklin”, “Picirilli, Robert E.”, “Piper, John”, “Polhill, John B.”, “Robertson, Archibald T.”, “Sabou, Sorin”, “Schreiner, Thomas R.”, “Sherman, Cecil”, “Spurgeon”, “Staats, Gary”, “Stanley, Charles”, “Strong, Augustus Hopkins”, “Summers, Ray”, “West, Jim”, “Wise, Kurt P.”, “Wright, Shawn D.”, “Wright, Stephen I.”) OR Publisher:(“Baptist”, “B&H”, “Holman”, “Randall House”, “Reformed Baptist Theological Review”, “Roger Williams Heritage Archive”)

    Southern Baptist

    Author:(“Boyce, James Petigru”, “Brand, Chad Owen”, “Brisco, Thomas V.”, “Broadus, John Albert”, “Bush, L. Russ”, “Cabal, Ted”, “Caner, Emir”, “Caner, Ergun”, “Chapman, Morris”, “Cox, Stephen L.”, “Dockery, David S.”, “Draper, James T.”, “Easley, Kendell H.”, “Estep, William R.”, “Fitts, Leroy”, “George, Timothy”, “Hankins, David E.”, “Henry, Jim”, “Hester, Hubert I.”, “Hobbs, Herschel”, “Keathley, Kenneth”, “McBeth, H.

Franklin”, “Robertson, Archibald T.”, “Schreiner, Thomas R.”, “Sherman, Cecil”, “Stanley, Charles”, “Summers, Ray”, “Wise, Kurt P.”, “Wright, Shawn D.”) OR Publisher:(“B&H”, “Holman”)

    Anabaptist

    Author:(“Bender, Harold S.”, “Charles, John D.”, “Dyck, Cornelius J.”, “Finger, Thomas”, “Friesen, Duane K.”, “Hartzler, Jonas Smucker”, “Hiebert, D. Edmond”, “Horsch, John”, “Kauffman, Daniel”, “Klaassen, Walter”, “Klassen, William”, “Kraybill, Donald B.”, “Kreider, Alan”, “Murray, Stuart”, “Roth, John D.”, “Simons, Menno”, “Snyder, C. Arnold”, “Stauffer, John L.”, Twisk, Peter J.”, “van Braght, Thieleman J.”, “Weaver, J. Denny”, “Wenger, John C.”) OR Publisher:(”Herald Press”, “Mennonite”)

    Additional Suggestion

    OR Title:(Anabaptis, Mennonite)

    NB: This would add resources about Anabaptism that are not necessarily from an Anabaptist perspective.  Similar suggestions could be made to other categories.

    Lutheran

    Author:(“Arand, Charles P.”, “Becker, Matthew L.”, “Bonhoeffer, Dietrich”, “Dorner, Isaak August”, “Engelbrecht, Edward A.”, “Gerhard, Johann”, “Gritsch, Eric W.”, “Hinlicky, Paul R.”, “Jeske, John C.”, “Jungel, Eberhard”, “Kittleson, James M.”, “Kolb, Robert”, “Kysar, Robert”, “Lenski, R.

    Additional Suggestion

    OR Publisher:(Augsburg, Fortress)

    NB: Augsburg-Fortress is the publishing house of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, but it does not just publish Lutheran works, and so would provide many false positives, such as Systematic Theology: Roman Catholic Perspectives by Galvin and Schuessler-Fiorenza, and books by Moltmann and Brueggemann.

    Thanks again Andrew. I made sure that I updated all of my collections and some of the changes added a few more resources.

    Does "A Bible Commentary in the Wesleyan Tradition" belong in Arminian-Wesleyian?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Amish Prayers by Beverly Lewis is available in Vyrso - belongs in the Anabaptist.

    OR title:Talmud OR author:("Ibn Ezra, Abraham","Neuser,Jacob")

    Rather than title:Talmud, which would bring up resources by, say, Lightfoot regarding the Talmud but not from a Jewish perspective, I would prefer to stick to authors and publishers as far as possible.  I'd suggest the following two categories.  Corrections and suggestions always welcome.

    Jewish (not Messianic)

    Author:(“Bamberger, Bernard J.”, “Berkson, William”, “Berlin, Adele”, “Borowitz, Eugene B.”, “Braude, William G.”, “Brettler, Marc Zvi”, “Cherry, Shai”, “Cohen, Arthur A.”, “Dorff, Elliot N.”, “Eisenberg, Joyce”, “Eisenberg, Ronald L.”, “Elon, Menachem”, “Elzas, A.”, “Eskenazi, Tamara Cohn”, “Fishbane, Michael”, “Fluegel, Maurice”, “Fox, Michael V.”, “Frymer-Kensky, Tikva”, “Ginzberg, Louis”, “Hammer, Jill”, “Hammer, Reuven”, “Hartman, David”, “Henry, Sondra”, “Holtz, Barry W.”, “Ibn Ezra, Abraham”, “Jastrow, Morris”, “Kalisch, Marcus Moritz”, “Kapstein, Israel J.”, “Katz, Michael”, “Kimchi, David”, “Knobel, Peter S.”, “Knohl, Israel”, “Lamm, Norman”, “Lauterbach, Jacob Z.”, “Levey, Samson H.”, “Levine, Baruch”, “Levine, Lee I.”, “Mandel, David”, “Mendes-Flohr, Paul”, “Miles-Yepez, Netanel”, “Milgrom, Jacob”, “Nelson, W. David”, “Neusner, Jacob”, “Nodet, Etienne”, “Ochs, Vanessa L.”, “Potok, Rena”, “Rodkinson, Michael L.”, “Rosen, Norma”, “Sarna, Nahum N.”, “Schachter-Shalomi, Zalman”, “Schwartz, Gershon”, “Scolnic, Ellen”, “Silber, David”, “Simon, Uriel”, “Stein, David E. S.”, “Tabory, Joseph”, “Taitz, Emily”, “Tallan, Cheryl”, “Tigay, Jeffrey H.”, “Weiss, Randall A.”) OR Publisher:(“Jewish Publication Society”, “The Talmud Society”)

    Messianic Jewish

    Author:(“Brown, Michael L.”, “Cohn-Sherbok, Dan”, “Feinberg, Jeffrey”, “Fischer, John”, “Fischer, Patrice”, “Friedman, David”, “Fruchtenbaum, Arnold G.”, “Gillespie, Terri”, “Goldberg, Louis”, “Gramckow, Jerry”, “Huckel, Tom”, “Juster, Daniel C.”, “Kasdan, Barney”, “Kjaer-Hansen, Kai”, “Leman, Derek”, “Lipson, Irene”, “Malda, Barbara D.”, “Moseley, Ron”, “Resnik, Russell”, “Rubin, Barry”, “Rubin, Steffi”, “Rudolph, David J.”, “Sacks, Stuart”, “Silberling, Murray”, “Stern, David H.”, “Switzer, Daniel L.”, “Vander Meulen, Elizabeth L.”) OR Publisher:(“Hananeel House”, “Messianic Jewish Publishers”)
