[sword-devel] Naves in OSIS

[DM Smith]

Here is a starting thought on the format of the osis.

I took three simple cases:
The first is about as simple as they come, but has several Bible references.
The second adds an internal cross reference.
The third has several definitions.

First the original from hard copy: (I point out the hard copy to show 
how it was originally. My intention is not to work from it or use it for 
corrections. This hardcopy is still under copyright, 1974)
ABBA, Father Mark 14:36; Rom. 8:15; Gal. 4:6.

The naves.zip and module has
(The only significant diff between the module and the zip is an extra 
xref in the zip. Which is not present here.):
$$T0000006
\ABBA\

-Father
   #Mr 14:36; Ro 8:15; Ga 4:6|

(The significant difference is that the hardcopy has friendlier book 
names and is layed out differently.)

OSIS:
While Naves is really simple for a dictionary, OSIS currently is really 
lacking in elements that define the content of a dictionary entry. Some 
of the things that are missing (I'm thinking ahead to Strongs):
A way to specify the word that is being defined.
A way to provide a pronounciation, alternate spellings, 
transliterations, word forms.
A way to specify a list of definitions of that word and to provide 
examples of each definition.
And a lot of other things that linguistical experts understand that I don't.

My thought is that we should markup as much as possible so that when 
OSIS improves that we can use XSLT to transform to it. (The OSIS manual 
says that it is going to "directly lift" the TEI dictionary stuff.) If 
this seems to be a good idea, I will look at the TEI wrt dictionary 
entries and try to emulate it with what markup that OSIS currently has.

(I am using whitespace and indentation for readability.)
<div type="entry" osisID="ABBA">
   <div type="x-term">ABBA</div>
   <div type="x-def">
      <list>
         <item>
             <span type="x-def">
                Father,
             </span>
             <span type="x-example">
                 <reference osisRef="Bible:Mark.14.36">
                     Mark 14:36
                 </reference>;
                 <reference osisRef="Bible:Rom.8.15">
                     Romans 8:15
                 </reference>;
                 <reference osisRef="Bible:Gal.8.6">
                     Galatians 8:6
                 </reference>.
             </span>
           </item>
       </list>
   </div>
</div>

Another simple example this time with internal cross reference:
Book:
ABISHALOM. 1 Kings 15:2, 10. See ABSALOM

e-text (zip):
$$T0000045
\ABISHALOM\

-General scriptures concerning
   #1Ki 15:2,10|

-See ABSALOM
   <AF>T0000056

OSIS:
<div type="entry" osisID="ABISHALOM">
   <div type="x-term">ABISHALOM</div>
   <div type="x-def">
      <list>
         <item>
             <span type="x-def">
                General scriptures concerning, <!-- This is actually not 
in the hardcopy! -->
             </span>
             <span type="x-example">
                 <reference osisRef="Bible:1Kgs.15.2">
                     1 Kings 15:2
                 </reference>,
                 <reference osisRef="Bible:1Kgs.15.10">
                     10
                 </reference>.
             </span>
           </item>
      </list>
      <span type="x-see">
          See
           <reference osisRef="ABSALOM">
               ABSALOM
           </reference>
      </span>
   </div>
</div>

One that is a bit more complicated:
Book:
ABIMELECH.  1. King of Gerar, Gen. 20; 21:22-32.
2. King of Gerar, Gen. 26.
3. Son of Gideon, Judg. 8:31; 9; 2 Sam. 11:21.
4. See ACHISH; AHIMELECH.

e-text (zip):

   #Ge 20; 21:22-32|

-2. King of Gerar
