                      TAXONOMY CSV IMPORT/EXPORT
                      ==========================


-- SUMMARY --
  ---------

This module allows to import or export taxonomy from or to a CSV
(comma-separated values) local or distant file or a copy-and-paste text.

When you want to import a vocabulary, a taxonomy, a structure or a simple list
of terms in your Drupal site, you have three main choices: migration modules,
Taxonomy XML and Taxonomy CSV.

For migration modules, see http://groups.drupal.org/node/21338 and
http://groups.drupal.org/soc-2006-import-export-api.

Taxonomy XML (http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_xml) is perfect for
standardized taxonomies and vocabularies importation. Despite its name, it can
import csv files too, but only if they are ISO 2788 formatted.

When you want to quick import a non-standardized vocabulary, for example an
old thesaurus or a simple list of children, synonyms, related terms,
descriptions or weights of a set of terms, Taxonomy CSV is simpler to use.

Other modules are available such as Taxonomy batch operations
(http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_batch_operations). It has only Drupal 4.7
and Drupal 5 releases. Drupal 6 release exists too, but it's an unofficial one.

For export, you can use Taxonomy XML too or one of backup modules. Taxonomy CSV
is a more specialised tool which allows more precise tuning.

-- WARNING --
  ---------

Use at your risk. Even if many informations are displayed, taxonomy_csv module
does not tell you what it's gonna do before it's doing it, so make sure you have
a backup so you can roll back if necessary.

It's recommended to use the "autocreate" or the "duplicate vocabulary" choices
to check your csv file before import in a true vocabulary.
