+# Vocabulary Importer
+
+This importer allows user to add terms to a given taxonomy. It's useful to import controlled vocabularies to a Tainacan installation.
+
+The file format used to import vocabularies is a CSV - comma separated values. Each line of the file will represent one term.
+
+For each term, you can inform the name of the term and it's definition.
+
+For example:
+
+```
+Term 1,Definition of term 1
+Term 2,Definition of term 2
+Term 3,Definition of term 3
+```
+
+It's also possible to inform hierarchy. You do so by leaving empty cells to the left, indicating the level in the hierarchy the term is in.
+
+Your spreadsheet will look like this:
+
+![Vocabulary spreadsheet](assets/vocabulary-importer-sample.png)
+
+This same spreadsheet, saved in CSV format, will look like this:
+
+```
+Term 1,Definition of term 1,,
+Term 2,Definition of term 2,,
+,1st Child of term 2,Definition of this term,
+,2nd Child of term 2,Definition of this term,
+,,Gran child,Definition of grand child
+Term 3,Definition of term 3,,
+Term 4,Definition of term 4,,
+```
+
+Once you have your CSV ready, fire the Vocabulary CSV Importer, choose the target Taxonomy (or create one), and hit "Run".
