Taxonomy in SharePoint 2010 - Part I |
|
In our Dec 2009 newsletter, we introduced the Taxonomy feature updates in SharePoint 2010. In this newsletter, we will continue to highlight additional Taxonomy capabilities in SharePoint 2010. For additional information, you can visit our blog site for details from Netwoven consultants. Below is a summary of some of the core features in the area of Taxonomy Management:
Enterprise Taxonomy Scope
SharePoint 2010 offers a truly enterprise Taxonomy Management Platform. SharePoint 2010 offers an architecture that allows taxonomies to be shared across Site Collections, Web Applications and even Farms.
Central Management of Taxonomy with Separate Governance
SharePoint 2010 provides the new "Term Store Manager" and "Content Type Hub Site Collections" to centrally manage taxonomies.
Folksonomy (Keywords, Tags and Ratings)
SharePoint 2010 provides the ability to tag documents using a very lightly framed form of taxonomy. Via "keywords", users are able to appropriately tag items and documents without being forced to abide by a more strict taxonomical structure.
Managed Metadata Columns in Faceted Search
SharePoint 2010 provides a faceted search capability OOTB.
Taxonomy Navigation in Tree View
SharePoint 2010 continues to follow the inevitable ECM trend towards abstract physical storage with multi-dimensional findability via taxonomy.
Hierarchical Term Sets and Filtering
SharePoint 2010 provides the ability to store hierarchical Term Sets in the Term Store.
