How should ancient holy texts be handled, especially when they have varying traditions of what's canon and who wrote what part? For example, each Christian tradition has its own view of what books the Bible contains, who penned the texts, what the texts mean, etc. Should we, for example, make each book of Bible have its own work, and then they are ALL compiled together in one "Bible" work, even the mostly apocryphal ones like the Book of Enoch? Then create different works for each Bible (or maybe an edition?) like the Catholic Bible, various Orthodox Bibles, the various Protestant Bibles... and link them to the one "Bible" work in some sort of relationship that is something like "Biblical tradition X is a variation of Bible" or something?

And then there are the Vedas, which are said to have been totally divine in nature and have no authorship. Should they be marked under some [unknown] special purpose artist or something unique like [divine]? Then there should be some sort of commentary relationship added so that we can add variants of stuff like the Upanishads, as Hindu schools often have their own well commented version of the Vedas written by their founders in order to explain how their metaphysical ideas integrate with tradition i.e. Adi Shankara's version of the Upanishads used to explain the Advaita Vedanta school.
