May 2006 Managing metadata in collaboration systems This article was inspired by member questions about metadata, search, and Sharepoint. As collaboration systems proliferate, enterprise information managers are wondering how to integrate team site searching with enterprise search, how to use existing taxonomies in collaboration systems, and how to synchronize enterprise-standard metadata with all affected team sites.

How do you attract sufficient resources to do innovative projects? How do you get business unit managers to share the responsibility for formulating and apply metadata standards and creating high quality content? In this roundtable, at IT manager and a knowledge manager from the MITRE Corporation will kick off the discussion by telling how they have implemented "service portfolio management." Metadata & search (Face-to-face seminar, June 14, 2006, Bedford, MA) Learn how to create and maintain metadata structures (taxonomies) and expose them for use by a metadata-aware search engine such as Autonomy's Ultraseek.
