Whats so special about it?

Imagine you have big vocabularies with a lot of relations. I'm talking +10.000 terms with +30.000 relations. So this would be perfect use case to use collective.vdexvocabulary. Also there are other stuff which I didn't found in other vocabulary packages for Plone/Zope:

i18n support (as it is defined in IMS VDEX) proper order also with unicode charecters (if zope.ucol is installed) easy registration using zcml relations as it specified in IMS VDEX standard

How do I use it?

In your configure.zcml add:

And to register a vdex vocabulary simply add line bellow pointing to file containing vdex vocabulary:

To make registration of vocabularies even easier you can also register several vocabularies and just point to directory:

vdex files in path-to/my-vdex-vocabularies directory should have ending .vdex to be recognized by vdex:vocabulary ZCML directive.
