The Structure of a Book on Sefaria
Each book on Sefaria is represented by an Index
. Each book has one, and only one Index
associated with it.
Each version of a text (a translation, a different edition etc) is represented by a Version
object. A book will have a single Index
associated with it. A Index could have no Version
objects associated, but it will generally have one or more Version
objects associated with it.
For a deep dive on Index
and Version
, see Index and Versions.
Each Index
is supported by a schema to represent the structure of that book, and provides important structural and metadata information regarding the book. To take a deep dive into this structure, read about the Index Schema.
