You can export WorldServer terminology databases (TDs) in one of several formats, so you can edit them offiline and re-import them later.
Use the following short procedure to get to a list of TD entries to export.
- Go to the
page.
- Select a TD from the list by clicking its name.
- Use the
Search or
Browse tab to select the desired entries.
- Click
Export Result Set.
The
Export Entries from Term Database <TD> page appears.
You can export a TD in the following formats.
- Delimited File: Simple Format
- A file containing terminology entries in a simple grid format with a column for each language or attribute and a row for each term entry. A header row is required. These files can have
.csv or
.txt file extensions.
- CSV: Advanced Format
- A CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file containing entries for a term database. This is a more advanced format that preserves term attributes.
- MultiTerm 5
- A file in MultiTerm 5 format, for importing into a MultiTerm 5 termbase.
Note: This legacy feature is not related to theWorldServer ability to connect to a MultiTerm 2011 server to use MultiTerm termbases directly.
- TBX
- A file in TBX (TermBase eXchange) format.
For all of these formats, you can select the statuses you want exported, from among the following:
General statuses
- Active terms only
- Active and Inactive terms
- Proposed terms
- Rejected terms
- All terms
Individual administrative statuses, as configured for your environment.
- Preferred
- Deprecated
- Standardized
- Legal
- Regulated
- Superseded
With Proposed Changes. Selecting this status causes WorldServer to export terms or term entries that have proposed changes. If the term entry has a proposed change, or if at least one of its terms has a proposed change, WorldServer will export that term entry.
Note: You can only export WorldServer TDs, not MultiTerm termbases.
