Vocabulary Harmonization Tool

Background & First Steps

At the September 2007 WGM, Vocabulary & M&M "upped the ante" on the Vocabulary Harmonization Tool, by requiring that facilitators use this tool, if at all possible in preparing submissions for the November 2007 Harmonization Meeting and subsequent meetings. In exchange, we promised to put up a support page on the Wiki for this tool.

This is the beginning of that documentation. The initial contribution is a minor revision and posting of the instructions and examples for using the previous Vocabulary Submission tool that required preparing XML files that drove the updates.

The current Eclipse-based tool is, for the most part, a GUI application that creates and processes the XML submission files. Therefore the old documentation is a solid start for this documentation. It can be downloaded as "Vocabulary Tool Documentation" from the Vocabulary Tooling project on Gforge. Subsequent updating and editing will move the primary source to this site.
