This isn't necessary, but it would probably be helpful.

We need to make sure to validate before importing and after exporting before sending the output to the user. If the export is invalid, we should still send the data but inform the user that something went wrong and the termbase is invalid.

This probably means that we need to move the business logic of validation out of the ValidateView view and into someplace accessible from multiple views.

Josh, I assigned this to you, but feel free to assign it back if you are busy with other things.

We need to create a routine, probably using lxml to take a TBX-Basic file and extract all of the data that corresponds to lexterm elements and update the database.
Here is a draft routine:

1. Parse TBX as xml (lxml)
2. For each term:
   • extract language
   • concept
   • term
   • part of speech (where does this go in lexterm?)
   • definition
   • update database

Terms are connected by concepts in both lexterm and TBX right? This should be relatively easy because TBX and lexterm share the same metamodels.

We should discuss a standard way to serialize LexTerm data for import and export.

May I have an api call for concepts limited by lexeme so that I can generate the senses on a lexeme?

May I have a call to filter languages by a given concept?

This isn't an issue yet, but it will probably become one. This would apply to endpoints that return a long list of elements, such as a GET on /api/lex/{lang}/lexemes

Using lxml we need to export valid TBX. This should probably be first export by language, which means that we would export all of the terms for a given number of languages. Later we can have TBX-Basic where the user can select specific terms to export. So, it's probably best to bear that in mind. If possible, write the code such that we could filter the output by: term, concept, limit (i.e. give me the first 50 terms in language eng), lang, lexicalclass, anymore?

We need to write a test to make sure that no data is missing from an export.

We should write a test in Django to verify that import updates the db correctly.
