For those with some SharePoint familiarity, this practical workshop describes an action plan for analyzing user requirements and shows how to configure both global and local metadata in SharePoint. The session shows how to use the Term Store Management tool and introduces new features, such as synonym import, custom entity extraction, company name dictionary, and “Did you mean?” search query suggestions. Using real-world examples, participants see how metadata impacts search, discovery, and content management. The pros and cons of strategies integrating and synchronizing external metadata repositories with SharePoint are discussed.
