Some knowledge domains have Controlled Vocabularies which are commercial properties - ie one can license the IPR. It would be nice to be able to import the values from a text file so that the 'Genre' values are an exact match of defacto standards for the knowledge domain in question.

The only possible solution I can think of is to create an empty book for each category. But that's not a very appealing solution if the vocabulary has hundreds of entries... unless one could put the books in an stealth jacket

Hmmmm... a hide books feature could do that... that would do me.

Thanks BR
I might not be getting what you are trying to do but wont just one empty book with all the genres tags you want associated to it work.
