Leveraging Your Taxonomy – Part 10 (Taxonomies in SharePoint)
By Melody Smith|April 9th, 20122012-04-08T23:09:00-04:00
I hope this series on search has been helpful to users and professionals alike. Let’s close with a look at taxonomies in SharePoint. Let’s look at this data flow in another way. We have incoming information; going to dump into a repository. We need to add metadata to that repository. We want to add taxonomy terms. The taxonomy terms all need to be controlled or suggested. So, there’s a backend to do that. Once we have the data in that repository it could be exported to a SQL or a relational database, transactional system, for e-commerce. It might be put into a repository so that the full displays can be done. It might be loaded into a search system and you also might have a presentation layer for display.
