Explanation of the table

This paragraph will be useful to better explain the purpose(s) of each page of the “Utilities” section:

• linear indices: this section allows the user/reader to quickly retrieve a specific topic displayed on a page offering a linear list of main topics selected within the bibliographical section; the ordering could be either:
  1. chronological;
  2. by author’s surname;
• multi-nodal index: the “Multi-nodal index” (run by the MNI program) allows the user/reader to compare and contrast different points of view by different authors on a shared specific topic;
• topical index: this section provides the reader with a complete list of topics (related both to the bibliographical and the core pages) selected by each book author;
• data handling: this part of the website describes the main steps in the development of the website itself and the different sections it is composed of;
• archives: the archive section displays and describes the different versions of a specific website (e.g. “Version 1, [archived] 2024”).
