located at https://terms.isotc211.com.

== Usage

The gem comes with the following executables:

* `tc211-termbase-xlsx2yaml`: used to extract terms from the official
  ISO/TC 211 terminology workbook, into ConceptYAML and TermYAML files.

Run the following command:

[source,sh]
----
$ tc211-termbase-xlsx2yaml [termbase.xlsx]

  are created under the `concepts/` directory (based on the current working directory).
  i.e. `concepts/concept-338.yaml`.
