Building Automated SharePoint Metadata Architectural Taxonomies for Synergistic Information Architecture

Collaborative Group Governance Organizations with Powershell

By Christian Buckley and Michal Pisarek

*not a real book, folks

An excerpt from the forthcoming* book:

1. When you don’t have a plan for metadata, it impacts the quality of your taxonomy

2. When your taxonomy is weak, it impacts your overall information architecture

3. When you don’t have a plan for metadata, it also impacts your ability to utilize the full potential of social

4. A weak information architecture impacts your ability to properly govern your environment

5. Without proper governance, you open up your environment to site sprawl

6. If you allow site sprawl to take hold, people begin to undervalue their roles, and the value of the platform within the company

7. When people undervalue the value of the platform, they begin to question other decisions being made by the management team

8. When people question management, a general feeling of apathy and corporate malaise begins to fester

9. When people start not caring about work, they tend to call in sick or avoid any real accountability

10. As worker productivity slides, management looks for other opportunities to automate and drive down costs and increase productivity

11. In the search for increased productivity, management will begin replacing basic functions with complex systems, including robotics

12. As the robots improve productivity and increase output, management spends more to build even bigger and better robots

13. As the robots increase in intelligence and capability, they then begin creating their own kind

14. As the robots slowly take over, humans begin to revolt and fight back against the machines

15. Just as the humans begin to turn the tide, that’s when the aliens attack

16. Unlike the movie War of the Worlds (with Tom Cruise), the aliens have been living among us for many years (Tom most likely one of them), adapting to our biological ecosystem

17. After several more hundred years, the aliens will use up all of our natural resources, and depart from earth, leaving us with a damaged shell of a planet

18. As humans begin to sort through the alien and robot trash that covers 90% of our planet, they create a basic form of government for the few who remain

19. The new government strings together from the wreckage a few old computer systems in an effort to better catalog remaining supplies and coordinate with remote human outposts

20. The first order of business of this new system?

Defining the system’s metadata and taxonomy
