New.lds.org Search Indexes
Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2010 4:28 pm
Are there plans to create author index files on LDS.org? For instance, the ability to select an author and see what articles/talks s/he have given (and published) in Church materials would be terrific.
(I.e. http://maxwellinstitute.byu.edu/authors/?viewall)
Perhaps those could be arranged by date, etc.? I guess making a relational database of articles to authors, both general authorities and lay members, that could be browsed as well as search. Something similar to:
https://new.lds.org/church/leader/thoma ... n?lang=eng
At the bottom of the bio, but an additional link to "All articles/talks by Thomas S. Monson". I suppose it's a matter of metadata. I'd be interested in helping with a project of interlinking the data though.
Just a thought.
