NuBerea/segments

Analytical unit definitions for biblical, Second Temple, rabbinic, and early Christian corpora: pericope boundaries for the Hebrew Bible and Greek New Testament, segment boundaries for the Dead Sea Scrolls, Talmudic literature (Mishnah, Tosefta, Bavli, Yerushalmi), early Christian writings, Nag Hammadi codices, Old Testament pseudepigrapha, and Migne's Patrologia Latina, together with a cross-corpus event topology (canonical biblical events, their aliases, relations, and mappings onto pericope spans).

Pericopes — the traditional reading units of scripture — are the natural analytical grain between the verse and the book, and this dataset supplies a consistent set of such units across very different corpora so that segment-level scholarship (source criticism, synoptic comparison, reception history) can be carried out on a common footing. The full specification (per-config documentation, schemas, and methodology) is available in the gated SPEC accompanying this dataset.

pg config (T6, 2026-09-12)

Greek pericope-scale segments over patristics-migne-pg's clean_text (Migne's Patrologia Graeca), the pg analog of pl/sch — 295,198 rows, MainText_ColGreek only (lang=grc), built by huggingface/candidates/build/patristics-migne-pg/scripts/build_pg_segments_driver.py (build_pg), published under commit 933a93d1. osisRef is unresolved at this rung (0/295,198 filled), same pattern as pl and sch — scripture anchoring is a later unit's job. Licensed public domain (Migne, out of copyright); see the license table above.

entity_index config

MACULA-derived named entity index — one row per entity-verse occurrence, 33,985 rows / 2,969 distinct entities (entity_id/canonical_name/entity_type/testament/ strong_id/lemma/osisRef/match_grain=verse, plus legacy osis_ref/book/ chapter/verse). Verse grain native (no pericope rollup). Built by ontology/scripts/build_entity_index.py, wired live per the 2026-07-24 owner ruling. entity_type is heuristic (referent-prefix + LN/SDBH domain codes); entity_id is a name-slug key, not a person-identity key (distinct same-named individuals merge; one individual can fragment across typing variants). Licensed under the MACULA CC BY 4.0 terms in the license table above (computed from macula-greek + macula-hebrew, no NC/SA in the lineage).
