The SharePartXXL Taxonomy Extension for Microsoft SharePoint enables documents and list items in a SharePoint-based portal to be organized cross-site as part of a connected content network and knowledge model. SharePoint list items are associated by category using one or more custom taxonomies. So users can organize documents and other portal contents in the way that they think and work.
With that extension the SharePoint portal really can become a place to share knowledge as well as content.
First native 100% SharePoint-based solution for cross-site information and knowledge management in MOSS 2007 and WSS 3.0
- Break out of the hierarchy of SharePoint sites: Navigate cross-site based on an easily browsable hierarchical directory (taxonomy) and related links based on ontologies for quick retrieval.
- Make SharePoint ready for Web 3.0: Create a semantic layer in SharePoint for content classification and content relationship management by category tagging to better find relevant information independent of its location - typically required for intranets, media libraries, knowledge bases etc.
- Linking is power: information about classification and related content appears as additional links in the site navigation and in the item's detail view – automatically and consistent in real-time.
