-These exports standardize on a format that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has provided in their canon of scripture. +The exports have multiple formats so that users can choose one they like. 
 + 
 +Using the SQLite database as an example, you can see the different column names. Here, for volumes: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +sqlite> .mode line 
 +sqlite> select * from volumes; 
 +                id = 1 
 +      volume_title = Old Testament 
 + volume_long_title = The Old Testament 
 +   volume_subtitle =  
 +volume_short_title = OT 
 +    volume_lds_url = ot 
 + 
 +                id = 2 
 +      volume_title = New Testament 
 + volume_long_title = The New Testament 
 +   volume_subtitle = Of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 
 +volume_short_title = NT 
 +    volume_lds_url = nt 
 + 
 +                id = 3 
 +      volume_title = Book of Mormon 
 + volume_long_title = The Book of Mormon 
 +   volume_subtitle = Another Testament of Jesus Christ 
 +volume_short_title = BoM 
 +    volume_lds_url = bm 
 + 
 +                id = 4 
 +      volume_title = Doctrine and Covenants 
 + volume_long_title = The Doctrine and Covenants 
 +   volume_subtitle =  
 +volume_short_title = D&C 
 +    volume_lds_url = dc 
 + 
 +                id = 5 
 +      volume_title = Pearl of Great Price 
 + volume_long_title = The Pearl of Great Price 
 +   volume_subtitle =  
 +volume_short_title = PGP 
 +    volume_lds_url = pgp 
 +</code> 
  
-If you look at the front of your Book of Mormon you'll see a page with the title **Abbreviations and Designations in Footnotes and Index**, and this is the formatting scheme used. So in the case of our example, the verse would be referenced as "John 3:16" in the indexes and footnotes.
