I am planning IMS file and wanted to see if there is any data mapping document on which element goes where in Moodle. I am working with IMS groups and after uploading a simple file, I am checking tables. Is there a better way ? Looks like I am missing good data. EG the <org> captures the categories and looks like I need dummy courses to build categories. We use these extensively - nested categories and newer ones are created every academic semester.
Thanks,
So I recently spent time in the code that imports the IMS file converting it to use simplexml and not regex's. I am pretty sure that it will not handle creating nested <org><orgunit><orgunit><org> 's. It will only create the one containing the <group /> . It will only create the categories at the top level. This person does have some code to do what you want.

Thanks Erik,
So I was not doing anything wrong. I was trying to create nested categories and it did not work. I cound not create nested >org>, that was the goal. Appreciate the link and will get in-touch with Longfei Yu.
