 # Excel files for data modelling and data import

-## JSON project file: "resources" section from Excel file
+## JSON project file from Excel
+
+With dsp-tools, a JSON project file can be created from Excel files. The command for this is documented 
+[here](./dsp-tools-usage.md#create-a-json-project-file-from-excel-files). A JSON project consists of different parts, and for
+each of these parts, one or several Excel files are necessary. The Excel files and their format are described below.
+It is possible to invoke a command for each of these parts separately (as described below). But it is more convenient to
+use the command that creates the entire JSON project file. In order to do so, put all involved files into a folder with 
+the following structure:
+```
+data_model_templates
+|-- lists
+|   |-- de.xlsx
+|   `-- en.xlsx
+`-- onto_name (onto_label)
+    |-- properties.xlsx
+    `-- resources.xlsx
+```
+
+Conventions for the folder names:
+
+ - The "lists" folder must have exactly this name, if it exists. It can also be omitted.
+ - Replace "onto_name" by your ontology's name, and "onto_label" by your ontology's label.
+ - The only name that can be chosen freely is the name of the topmost folder ("data_model_files" in this example). 
+
+Then, use the following command:
+```
+dsp-tools excel2project data_model_files project.json
+```
+
+This will create a file `project.json` with the lists, properties, and resources from the Excel files. 
+
+Please note that the "header" of the resulting JSON file is empty and thus invalid. It is necessary to add the project
+shortcode, name, description, keywords, etc. by hand.

+Continue reading the following paragraphs to learn more about the expected structure of the Excel files.
