Import New Taxonomy

CommonSpot installs with a sample XML taxonomy. To import existing taxonomies, CommonSpot accepts XML-formatted documents conforming to the XML Specification, validates on import, attempts to identify the reason for failures when they occur, and generates a report.

Import a new taxonomy by clicking Import Taxonomy in the Manage Taxonomy dialog. Update an existing taxonomy by choosing the Import option from the edit edit menu for a selected taxonomy.

The Import (New) Taxonomy dialog displays.

Pick from the following options:

Choose Import (or Validate)to complete the selected action or Cancel to exit without importing/validating.

Once the import is complete, a dialog similar to the following displays, listing the number of terms, facets, annotations, relationships, and data-associated terms:
