- 22. Service Application • Inorder to use a Shared Service, a Service Application must be provisioned • Automatically using the Configuration Wizard • Manually via Central Administration or Power Shell • It consists of some or all of the following: • An administrative interface • An application pool • One or more databases • A physical instance (a running web service)
- 23. Service Application Proxy •All Service Applications have a corresponding Service Application Proxy • An object that a service consumer (i.e.: web part, object model, code) uses to connect to a Service Application

- 26. Advancements ⓬ →⓮⓯ Redundancy • Multiple application servers can have a physical instance (a running web service) of the same service application Isolation • No longer a single point of failure as with SSP • A web application does not have to consume all the available service applications
- 27. Advancements ⓬ →⓮⓯ Delegation • Can give users access to manage only certain service applications Flexibility • A single web application can consume multiple instances of the same type of service application
- 28. Advancements ⓬ →⓮⓯ Performance/Resources • Only the services needed must be deployed Reuse • Some service applications can be consumed across farms
- 29.
- 30. Logical Architecture 1. Youcan deploy only the service applications that are needed to a farm. 2. Web applications can be configured to use only the service applications that are needed, instead of all the services that have been deployed. 3. You can deploy multiple instances of the same service in a farm and assign unique names to the resulting service applications. 4. You can share service applications across multiple Web applications within the same farm. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc560988(v=office.14).aspx

- 36. Taxonomy “a classification intoordered categories” – dictionary.com
- 37. Taxonomy “a hierarchical classificationof words, labels, or terms that are organized into groups based on similarities” – Microsoft
- 38. Taxonomy A way togroup things together
- 39. Taxonomies • May bedefined and centrally managed by one or more individuals • Useful because they provide a logical, hierarchical structure of metadata that can be used to classify information consistently
- 40.
- 41. Folksonomy “the classification thatresults when Web site users collaboratively apply words, labels, or terms to content on a site” – Microsoft
- 42. Folksonomies • Can beuseful because it taps the knowledge and expertise of site users and content creators • Enables content classification to evolve with the users’ changing business needs and interests
- 43. Approach Taxonomies • Formal • Centrallymanaged • Hierarchical • Managed Terms • Term Sets Folksonomies • Collaborative • Tagging freely • Enterprise Keywords • Social Tagging
- 44. Managed Metadata Service MustLove Term Sets

- 46. Overview Term Store • Wecan centrally manage/govern taxonomy and folksonomy Content Type Syndication • Via the Content Type Hub, we can centrally manage/govern definitions of types of content and various properties about those types such as workflow, retention policies, and metadata
- 47. Term Store Must LoveTerm Sets
- 48. Anatomy 14 (SharePoint 2010)15 (SharePoint 2013)
- 49.
- 50. Term “a word ora phrase that can be associated with an item” – Microsoft
- 53. Terms • Has aunique ID (GUID) • Can have many different text labels (synonyms) • On a multi-lingual site, it can have labels in different languages
- 54. Terms 1. Managed Terms •Usually pre-defined • Can only be created by users who have the appropriate permissions • Often organized into a hierarchy 2. Enterprise Keywords • Words or phrases that were added to SharePoint items • Part of a single, non-hierarchical term set that is named the keyword set 3. Hashtags • Words or phrases that were added to Office documents • Part of a single, non-hierarchical term set that is named the hashtag set
- 55.
- 56.
- 57. Term Set “a collectionof related terms” – Microsoft
- 62. Term Sets • Hasa unique ID (GUID) • Can specify that a column must contain a term from a specific term set
- 63. Term Sets Closed Users cannotadd new terms to them when they are entering a value for a column that is mapped to the term set Open Users can add new terms to the term set when they are updating the value for a column that is mapped to the term set
- 64. Term Sets Local TermSet Created within the context of a site collection For example, if you add a column to a document library, and create a new term set to bind the column to, the new term set is local to the site collection that contains the document library Global Term Set Created outside the context of a site collection For example, the term store administrator could create a term set group that is named Human Resources and designate a person to manage the term set group. The group manager would create term sets that relate to Human Resources, such as job titles and pay grades in the Human Resources term set group
- 66.
- 67. Group “a set ofterm sets that all share common security requirements” – Microsoft
- 69. Groups • Has aunique ID (GUID) • Only users who are designated as contributors to a specific group can manage term sets that belong to the group or create new term sets within it • Organizations should create unique groups for term sets that will have different access/security needs
- 70. Term Store Centralize Management •We can set up a centrally managed/unified structure for metadata for multiple farms Delegate Management • We can isolate different structures for metadata and give certain users the ability to manage their own areas of expertise/interest
- 71. Term Store Make yourlife easier • We can use tags and term sets across SDLC levels • Requires being strict • Introduce DEV elements carefully Make your life complicated • We can isolate the tags and term sets at each SDLC level • May be desired • Requires migration
- 72.
- 73.
- 74. Managed Metadata “a wayto refer to the fact that terms and term sets can be created and managed independently from the columns themselves” – Microsoft
- 75. Managed Metadata A serviceapplication group can include multiple Managed Metadata service applications • The sites within the Web applications display taxonomy, social tagging, and other features from both Managed Metadata service applications • Unlike other cross-farm services, Web parts by default include data from multiple Managed Metadata service applications
- 76. Managed Metadata Managed Metadatais one of the service applications that is typically deployed for dedicated use by a specific team or department • To allow a team or department to manage their own taxonomy, hierarchies, keywords... • SharePoint combines the results of multiple Managed Metadata service applications, so taxonomies, content types, and other elements can be shared across an organization

- 85. Pinned Terms Reused Term •Leverage same term in more than one location • Source can be changed • Allows for editing of the term’s label and other properties in the reused location(s) Pinned Term • Leverage same term in more than one location • Must pin with children (if any) • Source can be changed • Cannot edit term’s label and other properties in the pinned location(s)
- 86.
- 87. Custom Properties • Canbe instantiated on terms and term sets • Not a replacement for projected fields • Need to write custom code to leverage/expose

- 104. Site Based RetentionPolicies • Compliance features of SharePoint have been extended to sites • We can create and manage retention policies, and they will apply to SharePoint sites and any Exchange Server 2013 team mailboxes that are associated with the sites
- 105. Additional Considerations Must LoveTerm Sets
- 106. Term Set Import •Great way to get started • Can specify hierarchies • Possible but limited • Can’t specify synonyms • Can’t specify custom properties • Can’t set custom sort order • Can’t leverage reused terms, pinned terms • Can’t influence GUID assignment • No export without third party tool

Editor's Notes
- #5 Good Morning… Who’s wide awake and ready to go for a great Saturday of SharePoint? Who hasn’t really woken up yet and you hope that you picked a good session to catch some extra sleep in? Well I hope this isn’t too boring… I get excited about this stuff. And please ask questions as we go if something isn’t clear or you want to dive a little deeper into something. We’ve got about 75 minutes or so… so we should have plenty of time to adjust We’re going to do some quick getting-to-know each other, then we’ll get into the nuts and bolts, and finish up hopefully with some extra time for Q&A SOUND GOOD?
- #7 VERY BRIEFLY about me…
- #8 Currently I’m with a really great company in Boston—we have a New York office as well, and we’re a sponsor today And if you haven’t heard, Jornata has just joined us! So it’s an exiting time for BlueMetal. I’m just over a year into this role; I’ve had about five years of consulting under my belt at this point and previously I’ve been in a corporate role as well Been working with SharePoint for coming up on nine years now I’m not a developer! Major focus is on wrestling with all the ‘m’ acronyms… DM, ECM, WCM, KM… Here’s how to ping me But enough about me…
- #9 Let’s find out a little about all y’all.
- #10 Just so I get an idea who I’m talking to… Do we have Developers? Administrators? Business people/end users? What made you come tonight? What do you wanna know? Why should you care about the managed metadata service? Just because it’s a neat thing and has some cool new features in 2013?
- #12 You may have heard SharePoint does this thing called CM—whatever flavor it may be
- #13 Microsoft tells us that SharePoint can handle a LOT of different things—many even more not up here on the screen. Well… Do you want to turn these things on and hope for the best? We’re talking about the Managed Metadata Service of course today… the capabilities provided by the MMS don’t fit into all of these, but they can certainly help in quite a few of these scenarios
- #14 People usually will say that content management is about, what else, the content. It’s also about your USERS. If you look at how people arrive at stuff… it’s about half and half… Some people like to follow a map and street signs along the way to get to where they want to go. Others like to search for their content and expect it to come up pretty high in the result set. What kind of person are you? Think about your email. If you’re a filer and have tons of nested folders that you put your emails into, you’re probably an green ‘navigation’ person. If you’ve got all your emails in your Inbox and anytime you want to find something you type in a keyword or you group and sort by sender, you’re probably a purple ‘search’ person. You have to consider both approaches in building out your IA, and it just so happens that features of the MMS can assist with both of these
- #15 Once you’ve located some content… We want some qualitative data about the content to differentiate it from the sea of other documents… Perhaps filter out what you’re looking for to find that needle in the haystack of documents MMS can help with this!
- #16 The goals, again, are helping users FIND their stuff and USE it effectively.
- #17 The goal is to create Pleasantville.
- #18 But you’re going to end up in the Wild West if you don’t think carefully about how to leverage some of these capabilities.
- #19 We have ALL these things to build with in SharePoint, and more… How do we do it right?
- #20 Well… I just so happens that I do a whole other talk on diving deep into formulating your taxonomy and properly taking advantage of content type inheritance I just want to give you the very bare minimum concept here We usually set up some content types and some site columns We put them together to be able to track metadata on our content Some of these columns can be sourced from the term store, which is part of the MMS Some of these content types can be sourced from a content type hub and published to different site collections, and this facility is *also* part of the MMS In fact, one of the best ways to govern information architecture across an organization is to use the term store and content type publishing, again, both of which are provided for in SharePoint by the Managed Metadata Service
- #22 I did think it would be valuable to spend some time talking about the nature of the MMS and how it operates within SharePoint So first, let’s talk about what we USED to have And that was a Shared Service Provider I should say THE Shared Service Provider because there was only one and it provided EVERY service within SharePoint This was built into the MOSS framework actually, so WSS didn’t get anything like this
- #23 With the fourth major release of SharePoint we got an entirely new architecture for a Shared Service No longer tightly coupled with EVERY OTHER SERVICE And… this was now built into the WSS framework, so even Foundation uses this model Which services are available depends on the SKU: Foundation Standard Enterprise
- #24 So how do we ‘share’ these shared services without the SSP? We have a Shared Services Application This is at the farm level Some of these might be provisioned automatically by using the Configuration Wizard, you can manually get them going via Central Admin, and you can use Power Shell High level understanding… The SA could be made up of an admin interface, an app pool, some databases, and most importantly what is called a physical instance, which is a running web service
- #25 But wait, there is yet something else that SharePoint needs to deliver these shared services as an SA, and that is a proxy Every SA has one, and it’s how SharePoint componentry connects to it
- #26 Let’s go take a look at this.
- #27 Here is a chart of which Service Applications are available with which SKUs
- #28 So why are things better since 2007?
- #30 This is pretty cool
- #43 Microsoft
- #45 So… SharePoint supports both extremes of this continuum, as well as points along the way. At one end, you can implement formal taxonomies through managed terms and term sets. At the other end, there is support for enterprise keywords and social tagging, both of which enable site users to tag content with keywords of their choosing. In between these extremes, you can apply flexible degrees of structure and control to metadata, and you can adjust the scope at which you apply this control by choosing to make it global across sites or local to specific sites. For example, you have the ability to configure term sets to be closed or open to user contributions. You can choose to use enterprise keywords and social tagging in conjunction with managed terms, or not. SharePoint, what a surprise, can be customized to your particular organization and culture.
- #47 There are two components that make up the MMS, and we can use them to help craft our IA These are not the only aspects of SharePoint that contribute to a well thought out and effective IA, keep in mind So let’s get into the MMS itself
- #48 We’ve got the term store We’ve got Content Type Syndication
- #50 OOTB, this is what you get. Blank term sets ready and waiting for you
- #52 What exactly is a term? TechNet
- #55 What do GUIDS mean? Tags do not move around easily In terms of backing up and restoring to different environments In terms of migrations You’ll want to seek out third party tool, custom code, or, hey! My company to help you with that
- #56 Really three kinds of terms… Tag Hierarchies Managed terms are typically pre-defined and organized into a hierarchical term set by a Term Store Administrator or another person with permissions to work with managed metadata. An enterprise keyword is a word or phrase that is added to items on a SharePoint site. Enterprise keywords are organized into a single, non-hierarchical term set within the Term Store Management Tool called the Keywords set. Because users can typically add any word or phrase to an item as a keyword, enterprise keywords can be used for folksonomy-style tagging. Term store administrators, or other individuals with permission to manage metadata, can opt to move keywords out of the Keywords term set and into a specific managed term set, at which point the keywords will become available within the context of a specific term set. Term store administrators can also opt to make the Keywords set closed, so that users cannot submit new keywords and are restricted to the use of existing keywords.
- #59 TechNet
- #64 Again, GUIDs
- #65 Can be configured to be closed Or, can be configured to be open
- #66 TechNet
- #69 Microsoft Groups define security boundaries
- #71 Microsoft
- #72 OR
- #73 Either way, because we’re dealing behind the scenes with GUIDs, we can… Development, Test, Production… In that case you maintain the term store in PRD and have DEV and TST consume it
- #76 So to sum up… the term MM
- #77 Keep in mind if you wanna get really fancy…
- #78 And to customize/bend to your needs,

- #81 Why do we bother creating constructs and encourage our users to tag? The managed metadata features in SharePoint enable you to apply adjustable degrees of control to the metadata that is added to content. With term sets and managed terms you can establish control over the types of terms that are available to be added to content, and you can control who has the ability to add new terms. You can also limit the use of enterprise keywords to a specific list of keywords by configuring the Keywords term set as closed. When the same terms are used consistently across sites, it is easier to build robust processes or solutions that rely on metadata. Additionally, the user experience for working with metadata on sites, in lists and libraries, as well as in the Office client programs makes it easy for site users to apply consistent metadata to their content. When the content across sites in an organization has consistent metadata, it is easier to find and access business information and data by using search. New search features, such as the refinement panel, which displays on the left-hand side of the search results page, enable users to filter search results based on metadata. Additionally, you can configure metadata navigation for lists and libraries to enable users to create dynamic views of information based on specific metadata fields. Users can navigate libraries by folder or by metadata pivot, and they can then refine the results by using additional Key Filters. The managed metadata features make it easy for Term Store Administrators (or other individuals with permission to update managed metadata) to maintain and adapt your metadata as business needs evolve. You can update a term set easily in the Term Store Management tool, and new or updated terms will automatically become available for use wherever a Managed Metadata column associated with that term set is available. If you merge multiple terms into one term, content that is tagged with these terms is automatically updated to reflect this change. You can specify multiple synonyms (or labels) for individual terms. If your site is multi-lingual, you can also specify multilingual labels for individual terms.

- #105 A few words about Content Type Publishing and the Content Type Hub… GUIDs Same situation as using one term store
- #110 One of the decisions you often have to make is when to employ one of these types for giving users a selection of things to pick from
- #111 Choice Easy text Never updated
- #112 Lookup Can’t use across site collections Has a scope If you need to store additional metadata ABOUT the choices Can help you with things called projected fields Not all columns will project
- #113 Managed Metadata Got this in SharePoint 2010 Only way OOTB to use a consistent set of terms across site collections—even web applications and farms What’s altered this decision a bit is SharePoint 2013’s managed metadata extended properties.
- #115 I want you to understand the goals for working with your taxonomy.
- #117 I want you to think about this stuff BEFORE you let content pile up in your sites.
- #118 Talk to them! They know your content! IT’s role should be to set up all the gears and plumbing. The business knows its content better than you do. Don’t try to insert a folksonomy into a highly governed environment Try to use search analytics or other means to see if people are finding their stuff, and don’t let your tags go stale
