  • License: Varies by repository — Nestle1904 (unclear/check), Dodson-Greek-Lexicon (CC0), greek-syntax (Apache-2.0), others vary.
  • Suitability Score: ⭐⭐⭐ (3/5)

Useful as supplementary data, but not a primary source for any critical gap. The Dodson Lexicon (CC0) is the standout — zero licensing friction.

Coverage

Format: Varies — HTML, XML, CSV, Python packages, XQuery scripts.

Quality

Moderate to good. Academic contributors maintain these datasets. The Dodson Greek Lexicon (CC0) is particularly valuable as a zero-restriction supplementary lexicon. The Nestle 1904 text is a well-known critical edition.

Gaps Filled

  • 🔶 Greek lexicon extension (Dodson — CC0, no attribution needed)
  • 🔶 Additional Greek NT text editions (Nestle 1904, Byzantine)
  • 🔶 Syntax analysis tools (research applications)

Integration Notes

  • Dodson Lexicon entries could merge with or supplement existing Greek lexicon :LexiconEntry nodes
  • Nestle 1904 text would be an additional :Translation for the Greek NT
  • Syntax tree data is research-oriented — not needed for MVP but could power advanced features later
  • Multiple formats across repos means custom parsers per dataset
  • py-nestle1904 could be used directly in GospeLib's Python ingest pipeline as a dependency
