Compleat Botanica - Importing Taxonomic records
Using the software Sharing Importing
Importing taxonomic records is an advanced feature for those whose want to use a different family / order / class hierarchy system. The system employed by The
Compleat Botanica is somewhat different from the recognized systems of Cronquist, Walters & Keil, or others. For more about this see All about family names.
To begin the import process for taxonomic records, be sure your current view is the Checklist View.
Before starting, select the
record in the taxonomic
hierarchy that will
become the parent of the
imported records.
After selecting the parent
record, begin the import
process by choosing the
Import command from
the File menu.
Use the “Select file”
window to choose the
XML file containing
taxonomic records to be
imported. See the file
Taxonomic.xml for a
sample of a valid XML file.
For a complete list of
tagged values that can be
used in the XML file see
the document type
definition contained in
CompleatBotanicaSchema.
