Re: [GUSDEV] plugins and CVs again

[Michael S. <msa...@pc...>]

Hi Steve,

Ok.  We'll have to standardize the format of the dinky CV mapping files,
right?

I think the following methods would be really helpful as well:

getInternalTermPrimaryKey( $external_term)
getInternalTerm( $external_term)

This way the individual plugins don't need to implement parsing the dinky
cvs file.  (method names are just quick suggestions, change at will :)
