I'm at the Microsoft SharePoint conference this week and microsoft office 2010 full version it's all about
SharePoint 2010. It seems to be a huge release for Microsoft with a wide range
of new features for end-users, IT pros and developers. I took in the general
keynotes yesterday and microsoft office 2010 professional product keythen finished the day at the "ECM for the
Masses" presentation. Because our focus is on metadata I was especially
pleased with this last presentation that started to dig into all of microsoft office 2010 software download the new
metadata features and how they can be used for document and information
management.
Microsoft is really embracing the use of metadatainmicrosoftofficeprofessional plus 2010 product key SharePoint 2010.
There are a number of new features that help the user generate valid metadata
and help users more effectively search and filter information in SharePoint
based on this metadata. I won't be able to cover all the new stuff here, but
will be covering this in microsoft office 2010 professional plus product keymore detail over the coming weeks and months.
I guess the most important new feature is what Microsoft is calling
Managed Metadata Services. This is a service that can be activated via Site
Settings that allow organizations to define their metadata structure and the
metadata that is valid for use within SharePoint. This defined SharePoint
taxonomy can bemicrosoft office2010 hierarchical if it fits the organization. Users can quickly
navigate the tree when creating content to assign relevant metadata. The
Managed Metadata Service is an Enterprise
service. A configured metadata service can be used to provision metadata across
multiple farms in the organization. As single document library can consume from
multiple metadata providers.
The metadata can be assigned to documents both within microsoft office 2010 product keySharePoint, but also
directly within Office 2010 documents using the properties features in Office
2010 Backstage. Within the properties in Backstage a user can click on a
SharePoint custom column name and then
navigate the SharePoint metadata tree to assign the properties.
In addition to the managed metadata service, Microsoft is also embracing
folksonomies or ad-hoc metadata in SharePoint 2010. Users can add their own
tags to information. This can be done in document libraries but also in the new
social media features such as wikis, blogs etc. SharePoint will keep track of
these tags and make them available next time a user wants to assign a tag.
SharePoint tracks all these add-hoc tags as well as the managed metadata in
microsoft office 2010 product keyswhat they are calling "SharePoint Keywords".
So what is so great about all of these new metadata features? Well it's
how they can be used that's powerful. Microsoft has introduced the concept of
"navigators" in SharePoint 2010 that will allow users to find
information very quickly. These navigators can appear in a left hand pane of
SharePoint. By clicking on metadata tags or by navigating a metadata hierarchy
in the navigator, the user can narrow down the scope of the information they
are looking at in SharePoint. For instance the user could navigate to Finance
metadata, and then perhaps to mergers, to find all of the documents that have
been tagged as "merger" in the document library. This is great stuff
for e-discovery also.
