9. Term Store, Term Sets & Terms Service Application (Term Store) » Groups » Term Sets » Terms Locations » Cities » Redmond Administrators & users create term stores & terms Flat list or hierarchical list Disambiguating, reusing, merging & deprecating terms Custom properties available from OM Term store facilitates the management & retrieval of metadata & relationships Terms can belong to one or more term sets Translations & synonyms
10. Term Store Metadata Service One term store per shared service app Term Store ContentTypeHub Many groups per term store. Used as security boundary Content Types Group(s) Many term sets per group (max 1000 total per term store) Term Set(s) 30K terms per term set (max. 1m total) Synonyms Description Translations (Custom properties) Term(s)
11. Enterprise Keywords & Tags Enterprise Keywords = Term Free text entries are converted to terms in term store – not part of any hierarchy though Can be promoted to term sets Tags Can be terms or keywords Shell Tags: Kept in sync with the item’s managed keyword field Saved in the item’s managed keyword field Social Tags: Allows users to create and apply keywords to items Stored in social store, not with the item itself
12. Term Store Management Tool Provides rich interface for full management of term sets and terms Import of term sets and terms Translations & synonyms Manage term set / term languages Submission policy (open / closed) Open means users can submit terms to the term store (when adding / editing items) Regardless of the policy, users can always submit keywords

23. Unique Document ID Service Business case Unique numbering for documents which I can format in any way Store documents in any location and referenced by the original URL that assigned From an compliance, Records Management and Document Management perspective ensure a unique identifier that can trace the document, through the entire DM lifecycle. Documents required to keep their original ID across Sites, Site Collections and even Web Applications.
24. Unique Document ID Service New site collection Feature: Document ID Service Adds unique ID for all documents throughout the site collection Documents can be retrieved regardless of the current of future location based on their unique ID, which does not change after initially set for the document
25.
26. Limitations ONLY content types that are derived from the Document Content Type will have unique ID’s
27. Creating custom document ID provider Custom document provider can be implemented to replace the OOB funcitonality Inherit your provider from the Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.DocumentIdProvider Replace provider using Microsoft.Office.DocumentManagement.DocumentId.SetProvider() Applies change in Site Collection level
30. Introducing Document SetsScenario Overview New object to manage work products made up of multiple documents Think Folder++ Key Scenarios Tight collection of documents A sales proposal that includes documents (proposal), spreadsheets (quotation), and presentations Heterogeneous file types not usually assembled Compound documents A user manual that is an assembled roll-up of separate sections How can doc sets manage the unmanaged? Automate repetitive content creation Guide users through complex processes Provide process insights Manage related work products Foundation for document assembly
33. Document Sets – Templates, Versioning Document Templates: Admins can provide users document templates for creating new items for the work product Document Set Versioning: Set owners can capture the state of the set at different points in the lifecycle Ability to see point-in-time history of the set Set owners can restore to a previous version of the set
34. Document Sets - Workflow Special OOTB activities for working with document sets provided for SharePoint Designer authored workflows OOTB workflow provided for working with document sets
38. Creating document sets declaratively Document sets are content types Additional xml element structures available to define and customize the behavior
39. Can Document set contain other document sets? Unfortunately it doesn't Can we Download all documents of a document set compressed into a ZIP file ? Out of the box “No” Deploy SharePoint SDK provide sample code
42. Content organizer Enable Content Organizer feature Drop Off Library (DOL). Automatically routes documents that are based on the Document content type Documents can be automatically routed to different libraries, and folders within those libraries Control the number of documents in a specific folder
43. Content organizer Users typically need a good understanding of the site / library structure to know where to save documents Content organizer - users upload to sites Routing rules will determine where the document is saved Routing rules defined by site administrators
44. Content Organizer Settings Redirect Users to theDrop Off Library Sending to Another Site Folder Partitioning Duplicate Submissions Preserving Context Rule Managers Submission Points
49. SP 2007 DM Recap Repository services (adjustable) Recycle Bin Check-in/out Major/minor versioning (with trimming) Item-level permissions Content Types Policy per Content Type Workflow Document libraries offline in Outlook
50. Document Center:Scenario Overview Content Reasonably large number of documents (500-500,000) Active – still being Authored AND Consumed Typical examples RFP response library for a global sales force Spec library for and engineering team Brand image repository for a marketing team Contracts Consulting engagements Management Usually has a “content steward” defining the library structure, metadata, templates, business process, etc. Note: Nothing you can’t do in a team collab site!
51. Document Center:Feature Review Tag cross farm with shared hierarchal taxonomies and types automatically with location based metadata defaults Discover with metadata based navigation in client and server with location based view definitions the best content with Ratings the latest version with Unique Document IDs repositories with ties to Office Client New/Open/Save Manage with Metadata based content organizer with Multi-stage retention policies with Location/Folder based policies

Editor's Notes
In MOSS 2007 there was always the issue of how do we synchronize Content Types across Sit Collections. This was really problematic as it required either some custom coding or alternatively lots of manual configuration. This was also one of the many reasons that clients resorted to using as few Site Collections as possiblePublishing content types through the Managed Metadata Service is an extremly powerful feature of SharePoint 2010 but it does require some steps. The ability now to control content types from a central location and control all aspects of publishing is an amazing feature so check it out!I have broken this down into three sections: Configuring the Managed Metadata Service, Configuring the Content Type Hub and finally configuring receiving site collections since you need to do all three to get this working, but once you do you can easily update your content types cross site collections and even cross farms!
Document ID's in SharePoint Server 2010 provide you with the ability to tag documents with a unique identification number. Something a lot of my clients have done manually or by implementing custom solutions to take care of in SharePoint 2007. With this new feature, you get all the required functionality to tag documents with unique identification numbers based on a specific pre-set formula with a custom prefix.
Document Set enables users to group multiple documents, that support a single project or task, together into a single entity. All documents in a Document Set share the metadata and the entire set can also be versioned. Some example where document set might be useful to manage information would be:RFP response: managing multiple documents like proposal (.docx), presentation (.pptx), estimates and pricing (.xlsx) which are part of the response to a RFP Product documentation: managing multiple documents like TDM/BDM brochure (.docx/.pdf), evaluation guides (.docx), various presentations (.pptx), feature comparison sheets (.xlsx) etc. which need to be created as part of product release Document sets are built on SharePoint Server 2010 content types, and you can create multiple unique document set content types as part of your implementation. Note: Document Set feature is not available in SharePoint Foundation 2010.
Information routing, or content routing, is a very powerful capability. Those of you who are familiarwith and use Outlook are very familiar with content routing. Outlook’s rule capability enablesthe automatic routing of different types of e‑mail messages to different folders. This is extremelyefficient for organizing and managing your Outlook Inbox. In SharePoint 2007, the Records Centersite template has a routing engine that routes records to the proper location within the RecordsCenter site collection. The Content Organizer feature in SharePoint 2010 is a new routing featurethat extends, enhances, and makes more broadly available the routing engine used in the RecordsCenter site template from SharePoint 2007.
