Work

Works in OTS are made things: books, papers, essays, speeches, films, paintings, software. A Work is something a Person produced, that has a title and (usually) a date and (usually) a creator. If a note is about a what-was-made, it is a Work.

Work notes carry the standard fields plus the basics of authorship: creator (one or more wikilinked Persons), publication year, and an optional parent_work for chapters or essays inside a larger volume. The creator field is an array because Works are routinely co-authored.

The Work subtypes used in this corpus are Treatise and Dialogue. Both inherit the Work schema.

The Work notes in this corpus are the books and papers the philosophical arguments are made in: the Summa Theologiae, Hume’s Dialogues, Mackie’s Miracle of Theism, Plantinga’s Warranted Christian Belief, Rowe’s fawn paper, Schellenberg’s hiddenness book, Swinburne’s Existence of God. The journal entries are not Works because they are not made-for-anyone-else. They are Journals.

This page is itself a Work note. Every other Work has type: [[Work]]. The backlinks panel on the right is the index.
