Taxonomy/Context – Uses• Leverage security (List, Site)• Differentiate list-based workflows (List)• Segregate content (List, Site, Site Collection)• Facilitate geographic placement (Farm)• Control versioning (List)• Account for alternate authentication method(s) (Web Application)• Account for encryption (Web Application)• Etc.

Page 86: BASPUG May 2014 -  Taming Your Taxonomy in SharePoint

Taxonomy/Context – Approach

1. Determine what content is needed where2. Associate at the appropriate level(s) with the appropriate

container(s)

Page 87: BASPUG May 2014 -  Taming Your Taxonomy in SharePoint

Taxonomy/Context – Considerations

• The content that will be stored as items• The site and list/library columns that will identify, qualify, and differentiate those items from

each other• The content types that will help maintain appropriate metadata, workflow, behavior, and

other settings for different kinds of items

• The lists/libraries that will segregate those items within the sites

• The sites that will contain those lists/libraries

• The site collections that will contain those sites

• The content databases that will house those site collections

• The web applications that will contain those site collections

• The farms that will host those web applications
