Metadata & Search vs TTagging & Related Asset Listi ings Firstly I had a very rea problem looking for a al solution & I had embar rked on using Tagging & Related Asset Listings but were unhappy with s, s the result (& were told so as well). I critiqued these two m mechanisms (twice) to weight up the feasibilit of each of the two ty mechanisms. There are a great num mber of disadvantages with Tagging & Related Asset Listing & only Listing, one real significant adv vantage.

Metadata & Search This meme was created by Tait Electronics & Squiz NZ y This meme uses; A controlled vocabulary (the T Thesaurus Asset) M t d t Schema ( Metadata S h (several us ll ) l sually) Paint Layouts Search P S h Pages ( ith stored sea h ) (with t d arches) If & when I say taggingg/labelling I mean the metadata type, not the MySource Matrix e tagging. (& not the folk ksonomy type either)

things to do s read my tutorial (& ask qu ti k uestions if you need t ) d to) start small with a nice easy area y pick off an area of your site that groups content together e nicely start from the bottom & work your way up the hierarchy of the site

things to watch o g don’t re-create the left navigation re- make a global schema onc you get a couple of areas ce i going terms/topics in one area of the business mean different f things in other areas some content i not meant to b f is be found d (I’m not kidding!)
