=Import a skills repository=

If you have a repository backup in XML format (produced by the export function) you can restore it in your Moodle course.

Then, two situations can occur:

* This is a new skills repository for this Moodle space; it becomes available for this (local != 0) course or for all the (local == 0) courses;
* If there is an identical local version (same name, same code) – the skills repository is already existing in Moodle:
** If you choose to overwrite the existing version, it will be replaced by the imported version;
** If you choose to keep the existing version; the import process will be canceled;


==Importation / exportation Formats==

* XML is a textual data format representing the information as a tag hierarchies and nested data. It allows the backup and restore of skills repositories, activities and certificates.

          <item>
            <id>28</id>
            <code>Test1.1.1</code>

              <text>Description Test1.1.1</text>
            </description_item>
          </item>          
          <item>
            <id>30</id>
            <code>Test1.1.2</code>
            <description_item>
              <text>Description Test1.1.2</text>
            </description_item>
          </item>

* The XHTML format is an export-type format intended for Web page display.

* The CSV is a textual format of tabular data (like in a spreadsheet).
The CSV uses a separator, in general ';' between the cells of a table.

For example:

      nom;prenom;mell;ville;cours1;role1;cours2;role2;
      HADDOCK;Archibald;a.haddock@moulinsart.be;Moulinsart;Navigation;professeur;
      TOURNESOL;Tryphon;t.tournesol@moulinsart.be;Moulinsart;Physique;professeur;
      CASTAFIORE;Bianca;la_castafiore@moulinsart.be;Moulinsart;Chant;professeur;
      ;Tintin;tintin@moulinsart.be;Moulinsart;Chant;etudiant;
        
This gives a table:

<font size="-1"> 
<table cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" bgcolor="#000000" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#999999"><th>nom</th><th>prenom</th><th>mel</th><th>ville</th><th>cours1</th><th>role1</th></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#00CCFF"><td>HADDOCK</td><td>Archibald</td><td>a.haddock@moulinsart.be</td><td>Moulinsart</td><td>Navigation</td><td>professeur</td></tr>

<tr bgcolor="#66FF66"><td>TOURNESOL</td><td>Tryphon</td><td>t.tournesol@moulinsart.be</td><td>Moulinsart</td><td>Physique</td><td>professeur</td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#00CCFF"><td>CASTAFIORE</td><td>Bianca</td><td>la_castafiore@moulinsart.be</td><td>Moulinsart</td><td>Chant</td><td>professeur</td></tr>
<tr bgcolor="#66FF66"><td>&nbsp;</td><td>Tintin</td><td>tintin@moulinsart.be</td><td>Moulinsart</td><td>Chant</td><td>etudiant</td></tr>

</table>
</font>


The CSV is not really suited for nested data, as in a skills repository.
