# OpenGNT
NA28 / NA27 Equivalent; Open Greek New Testament Resources
# Open Greek New Testament Project
Open Greek New Testament project aims to provide a bundle of high-quality and open-source materials on Greek New Testament for biblical studies.
An eclectic text, namely "Open Greek New Testament [OGNT]", is first produced as the base text for the rest of the project. The text of OPNT is built upon a group of high-quality scholarly materials. This aims to provide all bible students or scholars a free text, which is the closest equivalent to the text of NA28, for studies or research purposes.

# Main File:
"OpenGNT.csv.zip" is currently the main file for practical use. [Remarks: Unzip the file before using it.]
It gives users a quick access to the main text of OpenGNT, keyed to Tyndale House' extended Strong's numbers and glosses, James Tauber's morphology, and variant markers on nine modern editions of Greek New Testament (i.e. B=Byzantine, I=NIV Greek, N=NA27, M=NA28 where words are different from NA27, R=Textus Receptus, S=SBLGNT, T=Tregelles's GNT, W=Westcott-Hort, H=Tydale House GNT).
This text is currently the closest equivalent to the text of NA28, made available for distribution under an open-license.
File format:
- each word of the main text is placed on a single line.
- each line starts with an order number in the whole text, followed by an order number in a single verse, an unique OpenGNT id, book number, chapter number and verse number, separated from each other by a [TAB] character.
- the last column contain all current features in the following order:
1) Base Word IDs for for mapping OpenText.org Linguisitc Annotation of the Greek New Testament's data or other resources based on NA28
(Remarks: OpenText's GNT annotations places shorter ending of Mark 16 at the end of Mark 16:8 whereas OpenGNT places it at the end of Mark 16:20)
2) Word IDs for mapping Levinsohn's GNT Discourse Features or other resources based on NA27
3) editions having the same word [B=Byzantine, I=NIV Greek, N=NA27, M=NA28 where words are different from NA27, R=Textus Receptus, S=SBLGNT, T=Tregelles's GNT, W=Westcott-Hort, H=Tydale House GNT]
4) unaccented word
5) accented word
6) transliteration
7) modern pronunciation
8) Tyndale House's extended Strong's number
9) morphology code
