taxonomy-connector 1.3.0

Taxonomy connector

Taxonomy

The taxonomy service is a library that can be installed in other edX components that provides access to third party taxonomy vendors. EMSI is currently the only vendor available, but others may be integrated as necessary. This service can communicate with the vendor to get job, skill, and salary data. This service can also be used to submit data (course descriptions, etc.) to the vendor to produce potential matches for a skill or job.

Getting Started

To install taxonomy-connector, for example, in Course Discovery, follow these steps:

1. It is recommended that you clone this repo into a sub-folder of your working directory. Create a sub-folder with name src if it doesn’t already exist.

2. Clone this repository into the src folder.

3. Go to the shell of the host environment where you want to install this package and run this pip install -e /edx/src/taxonomy-connector

4. Changes made into the taxonomy repository will now be picked up by your host environment.

Note: In order to communicate with EMSI service, you need to set the values of client_id and client_secret. These values are picked up from the host environment so you need to pass them in .yaml file of the host environment.

Also, to make taxonomy work, the host platform must add an implementation of data providers written in ./taxonomy/providers
