For many users, the importance of a strong metadata strategy and taxonomy strategy is unclear.

This presentation will walk through some
common end user scenarios; adding documents to a library,
participating in an enterprise workflow, finding technical
expertise through some of the new social search features in
SharePoint 2010 and discuss the metadata and taxonomy implications.
The goal of the presentation is to show the importance of metadata
and a taxonomy strategy, and how the lack of a strategy can impact
these common scenarios, and the ability to leverage the full
functionality of SharePoint.
