How topics are assigned
Topics come from a reviewed list of about 2,500 subjects. A document's topics were chosen by an AI model from that list or carried over from labels the source or an earlier import already had. Tags are not ranked, and a few are wrong. The scriptures and the Apocrypha are not tagged yet. Counts update daily.
