A hook for specifying information about the data store for vocabularies.

The storage backend for controlled vocabularies has traditionally been the Chado CV term tables. However, Tripal v3.0 introduces APIs for supporting other backends. Therefore, this function indicates to Tripal which data stores are capable of providing support for terms.

Return value

An array describing the storage backends implemented by the module. The keys are storage backend names. To avoid name clashes, storage backend names should be prefixed with the name of the module that exposes them. The values are arrays describing the storage backend, with the following key/value pairs:

label: The human-readable name of the storage backend. module: The name of the module providing the support for this backend. description: A short description for the storage backend. settings: An array whose keys are the names of the settings available for the storage backend, and whose values are the default values for those settings.
