KMWorld Roundtable: Getting More Value from SharePoint Content – The Role of Taxonomy and Information Architecture

The most important strategy for dealing with vastly increasing quantity of information is to improve the relevance of information presented to the user. This means finding exactly what a user needs when they need it in the format and context that they need it in.

This session addresses the impact of taxonomy and information architecture on enabling effective search. Speakers will address best practice approaches and methodologies. We also look at third party tools that enable more effective search and contextualization of SharePoint content.
