Just to draw your attention to something useful that I found online.
Lexicon-Concordance Online Bible
Might be useful to cross-check STEPBible Data with this resource, especially for any new queries.
Thanks David
I looked at a sample entry: http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/7875.html At first glance this looks fuller than the entry at www.stepbible.org/?q=strong=H7875 But actually, when I look at it, this is merely Strongs+Online Bible abbreviated BDB (which we use with permission), and NAS's abbreviated Strongs.
I had a look at a sample Greek entry at http://lexiconcordance.com/greek/1237.html I was looking forward to seeing Thayer's which would be good, if it was being offered as open source. Unfortunately their "Thayers" is the Online Bible abbreviated lexicon, which isn't nearly as good as their Hebrew one. And I suspect this is being used without permission.
It might be useful to get permission to use Thayers from Biblesoft who did the transcription. For this word it has
διαδέχομαι: 1 aorist διεδεξάμην; properly, to receive through another anything left or bequeathed by him, to receive in succession, receive in turn, succeed to: τὴν σκηνήν, the tabernacle, Acts 7:45 https://www.blueletterbible.org/kjv/act/7/45/s_1025045. (τὴν ἀρχήν, τὴν βασιλείαν, etc., in Polybius, Diodorus, Josephus, others) [Cf. δέχομαι.]
However, the entry at www.stepbible.org/?q=strong=G1237 says this and more, so perhaps Thayers would be duplication.

Thanks David,
One other thing about it struck me. In the table at http://lexiconcordance.com/hebrew/ column 3 is for Pronunciation.
There's nothing in the OSIS Reference that defines suitable markup for defining pronunciations! Perhaps there ought to be?

The STEPBible transliteration attempts to combine readability with the vocalisation. Are there words where you see this failing? Actually, I can't really understand the pronunciations being suggested. The first two are: #0002 אָב 'ab {awb} #0002 אַב 'ab {ab} But surely, any Jew would pronounce both of those "av".

Yep! They struck me as odd too!
My main point was that (other than transliterations) the OSIS Reference makes no provision for pronunciation markup, per se.
This reminds me of a humorous aside I heard in a sermon c.1965...
Q. What's the right way to pronounce 'Baal' ? A. Just imagine how a Glaswegian says 'bottle' !
