What is Managed Metadata and why do we care?
• A hierarchical collection of centrally-managed terms we can define for users
• Truly a ‘one version of the truth’ as context for data
Goals for our Users?
• Support a real ‘single source of the truth’
• Consistency • Centrally-managed, but extensible• Adaptable as needed• Allow crowdsourcing of new terms (if
allowed)
Why do we care?
• Because its our job to help users avoid this…through Views, Filters, Group By, Tags (and Tag Cloud), and Search
Data context scarcity Data context overload
How do we solve?
• By creating centrally-managed ‘term sets’• Creating Metadata Columns to utilize them
So what do we do?
• Create Term Set’s through the GUI• Import a self-created .csv template
Demonstration
• Central Admin management• Working with the Term Store
Management Tool• Utilizing a Managed Metadata column

Rules to Remember
• Terms can be nested up to seven levels
• If entrusting permissions to manage, only delegate the minimum hierarchy-level needed (least-privilege)
• Don’t create more Term Sets/hierarchy than your users need/will accept
