Occurrences

No approved public occurrence yet.

How this was computed: rule CR-BASE@1 / CR-EXPLICIT-VERSE@1, profile official@2, epoch 103
Metric
Verse-level uses: every citation adds one for each verse it covers, under the counting rule. A citation of three verses adds 3. (definition)
Counting rule
The baseline rule: every mention of every verse counts; a chapter or a range counts once for each verse it covers, and an unknown repetition counts as one. (definition) – verse-level uses; references to a whole chapter count for each of its verses
Like the baseline rule, but only references that name verses count; whole chapters and books are left out. The Top 100 verses use it, so a chapter reference does not lift every verse of the chapter. (definition) – explicit citations (owner decision P5); the basis of the Top 100 and of the rank
Profile
The official profile of every public number: only reviewed and approved entries whose evidence quality is high enough. (definition) – reviewed and approved data only
