Research direction

Review the separation described in issue #136 and the existing odML loading behavior before choosing an entry point. Define how loading from a URL or local repository should clone a template and how empty_values should affect local files; done means both examples work as specified.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

With the separation of more complex odML tree structures from the odML terminology side to a template store side (cf. #136) we could also provide a function that loads an odML file via an url or a local repository as an odML template:

import odml

# returns the template odml file from the template store page (as clone)
doc1 = odml.load_template(url_some_temp_store_file)

# returns some local file (as clone) with the option to empty all values
doc2 = odml.load_template(dir_some_local_file, empty_values=True)
