Exporting a TD for Delimited and CSV Files

You can choose to export terminology databases (TDs) to files using the delimited text or CSV formats with .txt or .csv file extensions.

TheDelimited File: Simple Format export option has the following characteristics:
  • The columns correspond to the locales and term entry attributes of the term database being exported. Standard term entry attributes (Created By, Modified On, and so on) are included.
  • The column headers are the WorldServer locale names and term entry attribute names, as appropriate.
  • Attributes for the individual terms are not exported due to the export format.
Note: The WorldServer import feature allows you to import columns as term attributes, and is therefore richer than the export feature.

The CSV: Advanced Format export option preserves term attributes.
