Taxonomy import/export via XML
This module makes it possible to import and export vocabularies and taxonomy terms via XML, CSV, RDF and other formats.
Work is currently being done in the Drupal 6 branch to extend support for remote services - online vocabulary, glossary, thesaurus and taxonomy resources - so libraries of structured terms can be imported directly.
Examples include taxonomy structures of:
- Hierarchical Countries and states
- The Dewey Decimal system
- Library of Congress classification scheme
- IPTC press topic catalog
- Encyclopedia of Life organism database
A goal is to get the taxonomy import/export to a point where a Drupal site can become a taxonomy server of its own, providing realtime vocabulary sharing.
Background on recent motivations that have moved this forward a bit.
Documentation distributed with the module includes:
- Information on the formats readable by taxonomy_xml - CSV, XML, RDF, TCS
- About the samples distributed with the package
- Notes from my study of alternative taxonomy notation schemas - The theory of taxonomy and uses in the real world
- About using services (remote taxonomy servers) as a source for taxonomy import
About Releases 2009-05.
The DRUPAL-6--1-x recommended release is stable. The DRUPAL-6--2 branch is probably OK but refactored a lot of the libraries around (mostly the help and samples) so was a new branch with a different folder structure.
