Re: Intranet "taxonomy" for document management

2012-01-22 Thread Tom Bizannes
Guys,

Got a little hot under my collar when a person who does Word Development for 
law firms said to me "how would you know anything about Document Management 
Meta Tags in regards to setting up a SharePoint Intranet!"

Being a Database developer and having more of a data focus, I was floored by 
the ignorance, as I am always crunching and see the way things are classified, 
and how useless most of the methodologies are in appropriately tagging most 
data (and documents). e.g. Database guys know more about classification than 
any document management person would.

But realistically, setting up a standard for document libraries in SharePoint 
should be simple and task based as far as I am aware.

What I am after here is some stories and/or books / articles etc around 
planning for SharePoint Intranets in terms of site and document management 
structure and meta tags.
The most useful comment I heard years ago at a SharePoint User Group, was to 
keep document library tags down to one or two categories that were general 
across the company, and setup the sits in a fairly flat but logical structure.

p.s. Working on doing the SharePoint Administration Exam within the next month 
(although I would think most of you guys are also been there or doing it 
now)...so how hard is it for an experienced SharePoint 2010 guy?

For site planning you will have to create Info Architecture, we are
currently using card sorting for the same

For taxonomy look at the below link
