<DIV>Hello,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am working on the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary data from the SWORD
module. I've converted it to an OSIS file, to work with as I translate, so
I can update and correct the data. The OSIS I'm using right now is kind of
misusing some of the elements (and I have a few ideas to improve that) but I'm
waiting for the next release, and the promised dictionary format. I'm
sending along a PDF sample of the words from Gen 1:1-2. The order is
slightly different from Strong's, but it's the best I could do at my current
level of XSLT.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The entries, as they stand, are set up:<BR>1. Strong number<BR>2. Hebrew
word: this is one of the main things I want to add. They don't seem to be
readily available, in the public domain on the internet.<BR>3. Transliteration:
I have two versions, separated by a pipe: the SBL standard | the original from
the file. One of my questions is, which one would be best in an updated
module, once I finish the work?<BR>4. Pronunciation<BR>5. Part of speech:
another addition. Would it be good to include?<BR>6. Source<BR>7.
Variants: Some words have several variant spellings. Generally the format
is: text, Hebrew, transliteration, pronunciation, [text].<BR>8. Definition and
KJV usage<BR>9. My usage: just a personal record of how I'm using the word in
translation. This won't be in the final module.<BR>10. Root: comparing
with Brown, Driver, Briggs and the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament:
again, should this be included?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The work may take some time to complete, but any suggestions about content
and format of the final data file would be appreciated.
