23. In Biology, taxonomy is the science dealing with the description,
identification, naming, and classification of organisms. “however, the
term is now applied in a wider, more general sense and now may refer to
a classification of things, as well as to the principles underlying such a
classification.”
“Metadata provides context for data. Metadata is used to facilitate the
understanding, characteristics, and management usage of data. The
metadata required for effective data management varies with the type of
data and context of use.”

32. “Social media is media designed to be disseminated through social
interaction, created using highly accessible and scalable publishing
techniques. Social media uses Internet and web-based technologies to
transform broadcast media monologues (one-to-many) into social
media dialogues (many-to-many).
It supports the democratization of knowledge and
information, transforming people from content consumers into
content producers.”

The way that Gen Y works and plays is dramatically different from the social informatics of even 10 years ago. And the speed of change is increasing.
As SharePoint extends into broad adoption and business solutions such as extranets securing the SharePoint content is key.
CB: Once you understand biz value and scope, you next need to understand how to manage what you have (governance) to maximize performance and value.
