we just were not sure if you were ready that it be shown to your group<br class="">
or not at this time.<br class="">
<br class="">
the loading process for geolexica was built around the requirements of<br class="">
the ISO MLTG excel file. moving entries into an excel file with the<br class="">
same format would be the easiest way to load content. bringing them in<br class="">
from another source would require code additions/modifications. Ron<br class="">
can tell you where those modifications would be needed and i am sure<br class="">
there are members in your group who could work up something that meets<br class="">
your requirements. but if you have entries already in a list-like<br class="">
form, putting them into excel is an easy way.<br class="">
<br class="">
i was not aware of the other projects, but Ron may have heard of them<br class="">
before. thank you for mentioning our work to them. if they are able to<br class="">
make use of geolexica or some of the terminology management concepts<br class="">
that we use within TC211 i think we are very happy.<br class="">
<br class="">
will be in touch,<br class="">

Hi Cameron,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’m happy to let you know the site is somewhat live (the design, not yet):</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/" target="_blank" class="">https://osgeodev.geolexica.org</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The first term there is your do-ocracy:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/concepts/10/" target="_blank" class="">https://osgeodev.geolexica.org/concepts/10/</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The repo is located at:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org" target="_blank" class="">https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I’ve added some contribution instructions here, certainly they can be improved:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org#contributing" target="_blank" class="">https://github.com/geolexica/osgeo.geolexica.org#contributing</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The deployment is automated. If you can provide your (and/or your team's) GitHub handle(s) I can add you to the group for direct access, especially for the addition of terms. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope this helps!</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Ron</div>
