Question

What resources exist for cross-references we can bulk input?

I see the UBS XRF files in my installation. Are there other good/trusted/available sources for XRF files?

Thanks

Answer 1

I'm not aware of any other freely available, prepared sets of cross-references that can be used. https://www.openbible.info/labs/cross-references/ has a list of over 300,000 references that could be used, but would need to be converted and cleaned-up to be useful.

Paratext includes an export feature that can be used on projects (not resources) to export references from another project.

Project menu > Advanced > Extract Cross References

You need to make sure that you have permission to use cross references from another project.

Answer 2

A list that many are finding helpful is the "BibleWorks consolidated master list of frequently cited passages" (adapted and used with permission) which goes by the names the "The Works" and XREF. For bulk import, you can download the xrf files from my Github.

To preview its references, install the XREF resource in the Paratext install/download resources menu.
