I thought that was what you were asking for.  At BibleTech 2008, there
was a talk on generating cross-references.  I can't find my handout of
it, nor my notes.  :(
Going memory, the "simple" way is:
Start with the PD version of _Naves Topical Bible_.
* Convert the topical references to book, chapter, and verse,
* At each BCV entry, list the topic, and other entries and source.
Take the PD version of _Treasury of Scripture Knowledge_
* Convert the references to book, chapter, and verse,
* At each BCV entry, list the topic, and other entries and source.
Merge these two documents together, (the topical bible cross-reference);
Create a concordance of the LXX;
* Delete Words that appear within one standard deviation of the
expected, for each book;
* Convert the remaining words to BCV references;
* At each BCV entry, list the word, and other entries and source.
Create a concordance of the MT;
* Delete words that appear within two standard deviation of the
expected, for each book;
* Convert the remaining words to BCV references;
* At each BCV entry, list the word, and other entries and source.
Create a concordance of (pick your Public Domain) Greek New testament;
* Delete Words that appear within one standard deviation of the
expected, for each book;
* Convert the remaining words to BCV references;
* At each BCV entry, list the word, and other entries and source.
Merge these three concordances together. (The significant word concordance);
Create a three word phrase concordance of the LXX;
Create a three word phrase concordance of the MT;
Create a three word phrase concordance of (pick your Public Domain)
Greek New testament;
Merge these three concordances together. (The three word phrase concordance);

Merge these three documents together;
(Topical bible cross-reference, significant word concordance, three
phrase word concordance.)
Supplement by adding list of people, places, and objects to your
cross-reference database;

Supplement by adding OT quotes in the NT.
Supplement by adding OT allusions in the NT.
(Don't forget to list the NT reference in the OT.)

The talk mentioned a couple of other techniques that could be used to
generate cross-references.

I forgot that Google was my friend.
