Terms

What is a Term?

A Term is a sharedTitle node, used to group titles, alternate titles, and non-English titles (e.g., Hebrew). Some objects, such as Index records, store their own various titles. However, for other system objects, that is not possible at this time. This is why we use the Term object to add titles to items that need them, such as categories, sharedTitles on Categories, and section names.

Examples of Terms

Sample Term For the Section Name for chapters:

{
  "scheme" : "section_names",
  "titles" : [
    {
      "lang" : "en",
      "text" : "Chapters",
      "primary" : true
    },
    {
      "lang" : "he",
      "text" : "פרקים",
      "primary" : true
    }
  ],
  "name" : "Chapters"
}

Sample Term For the Table Of Contents Sub-category Geonim:

{
  "name" : "Geonim",
  "titles" : [
    {
      "lang" : "en",
      "text" : "Geonim",
      "primary" : true
    },
    {
      "lang" : "he",
      "text" : "גאונים",
      "primary" : true
    }
  ],
  "scheme" : "toc_categories"
}
