Summary
Taxonomy is quite a common concept in our everyday lives. It helps us discover the correct product to
buy in Supermarkets, pick that song we want to hear or find that book in the library.
Information Architecture is equally important in a well designed SharePoint site. In this session we will
learn how to architect and implement information in SharePoint and leverage concepts such as
managed navigation, taxonomy, content types and search to create a highly successful SharePoint site.
Attendees will be able to identify key concepts in defining a SharePoint Information Architecture plan
and walk through implementations of defined concepts

collections, and publish this content
across one or more publishing site
collections, by using Search Web Parts.
