Introduction

This module provides functionality to build a hierarchical biological taxonomy sourced from the ITIS database (http://www.itis.gov/downloads/). Dependencies:

  • PHP PDO Sqlite Module
  • Batch API
  • Libraries
  • Entity

Depending on the options selected, the created taxonomy could be enormous. Be aware that extremely large taxonomies can have adverse effects on Drupal.

As with all hierarchical taxonomy trees, a module such as taxonomy_manager is recommended for use in managing the resultant vocabulary.

Installation

  • Before enabling the module, download the Full ITIS Data Set SQLite database (http://www.itis.gov/downloads/) and extract the ITIS.sqlite file into /sites/all/libraries/itis/.
  • Enable the module and browse to admin/config/biological_taxonomy/build.

Development

New contributions/issue reports welcomed.
