Term Uncle

A light-weight module providing cross-vocabulary term relationships.

The Term Uncle module extends core taxonomy to allow you to attach "nephew" terms to an "uncle" term. It was created as a way to add Tags to Category terms, although it can be configured for many uses. Configuration is done the same way as content types, via additional checkboxes in the vocabulary edit page. If you want to enable Tags for the Article content type, edit the Tags vocabulary and select the Article checkbox; likewise select the Category checkbox under Vocabularies. Now edit a Category term and a Tags field will appear the same way it does when editing an Article node.

Term Uncle includes Feeds integration. This allows data from an RSS item to be matched with nephew terms and replaced with related uncle terms. This module was created for using tags in a feed to populate the node Category terms as well as Tags. If a RSS item has the tags linux, san, iscsi, raid, performance I want that article to be in the Virtualization category as well as the Storage category. The Virtualization category term has tags xen, kvm, vmware, iscsi, esx, esxi and the Storage category term has tags san, raid, sas, sata.

Due to the use case this module was created for Views integration was not needed, but there is interest in developing it.
