[osis-core] NRSVA?

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

I don't think as a group we have agreed to and assigned reserved names
for reference systems.  The topic has always been deferred in
conjunction with the definition of the mechanism for declaring reference
systems.

We have TALKED ABOUT a hierarchical naming system but have not adopted
anything.  We have also discussed not having a hierarchical naming
system for reference systems and relying on mapping files.

I think we should declare the reference system "Bible" to be the general
purpose reference system.  We can declare that it is the set of
identifier values found in the NRSVA if we like.

I think we should NOT reserve reference systems names that reflect a
specific translation.  (Thus, not reserve the name NRSV or NRSVA.)

I would suggest "Bible.Hebrew" for the Hebrew reference system that
differs from Bible mainly (if not exclusively) in the Psalms with the
numbering of verses (and possibly includes a fourth level for Ps.1.1.a
and Ps.1.1.b). 

I would suggest "Bible.xxxx" (replace xxxx with the appropriate name)
for reference system found in French Bibles.

These names need not imply a heirarchial relationship.  If you don't
like simply "Bible" we can use "Bible.Standard" or "Bible.General" but I
prefer simply "Bible".  I don't think this reflects a Western
perspective in that a large percentage of Bibles use the same ("Bible")
reference system.
