hello

we need something like this:

we have got around 500 blogs (feedapi nodes) we collect the postings of.
the blogs have 10 general taxonomies
from the feeditems we collect the tags (around 500 a day) and put them with the mapper into one vocab.
we need a manual but "learning" system to make a relation (or to put the terms of the items into the general terms of the nodes):

for example general node term: "Architecture"
but in the posting we often find not "Architecture" but Building, Church, House, City Planning etc.
it would be nice if we would have a table where all the tags of the items are collected and maybe behind them a select with the general terms.
so we could manually map:

Building - Architecture
Church - Architecture
House - Architecture

so after a while the system knows the most of the terms and we only have to look for new ones ...

is your module helpful for something like this?

thanks momper

Hello momper,

I've done this very thing.

FeedAPI taxonomy compare also looks at the synonym of terms. If it finds the synonym, then it adds the real term to the node.

Let's look at your example.

You setup 2 vocabularies. One named "Tags" and one named "Categories". Assign both of the to the feedapi item node.
The Tags vocabulary is what is mapped via feed element mapper and is populated.
The Categories vocab is your control. You place the 10 terms that you use to organize your site.
In FeedAPI Taxonmy Compare settings select the "Categories" vocab in your safe list and the option "Compare to Synonyms".

I recommend using Taxonomy Manger to manage the vocabulary.

You setup your vocab with the term Architecture with synonyms of house, church and building.

When a node comes in with the term of "house" form the Tags vocabulary, the term "Architecture" is added from the Categories vocabulary.

Then you can use your theme to hide the Tags vocabulary from displaying.

Check out this blog post I did a while back. I created a tag mgmt page. In the site I was creating, I had the users manage their own tags. I placed a few tabs in the user profile.

Read the section called "Blog Tag Management"

You also might be interested in the posts I did for a site I was working on called "Blogs of Indy" that never went live.

great - it seems to work :)

question - i can activate this in admin:

Remove Original Tag if found
Select this option to remove the term from the tag vocabulary if it if found.

it's only the 1 to 1 original tag right? if i have a fixed category term "nature" and a item tag "nature" nature is removed in the "temp input item" category right? so all the tags that are only triggered as synonyms are still in the "temp input item" category? does it make sense to remove the synonyms too? i'm a little bit confused and ask myself if this is technical possible ...

Correct. The category vocab is never changed. Only the tag vocabulary. The synonyms that is attaches should be attached to the category vocab. Those should always be there.

This option is a little misleading (or completely mislabeled). What i actually does is remove all of the current terms from tags vocab before it applies the new terms from the category vocab.
