Re: [Semediawiki-user] Vocabulary import problem: Element not available for import

[Markus <ma...@ai...>]

Hi Jaakko,

Denny is in charge of fixing the Ontology Import code, but I must admit tha=
t=20
it currently is not our top priority. The reason is that we found that=20
importing ontologies and refactoring of wiki pages can be done far better b=
y=20
using an additional (in our case: Python-based) toolkit. An HTML-form just=
=20
doesn't provide you with the flexibility you need for custom import tasks.

Denny: could you please send us the pointers to your toolkit and maybe an=20
example snippet of how to use it?

Best regards,

Markus
