One in particular:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>"top-down taxonomy and bottoms-up social tagging"</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I.e. having a (hierarchical) taxonomy which is pre-determined, and making it very easy to classify content (documents) according to this (Sharepoint has the </SPAN><A href="http://www.cmswire.com/cms/document-management/overview-sharepoint-2010-metadata-and-taxonomy-management-006015.php" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">type-ahead feature with dropdown</A><SPAN> with alternatives, which seems to me best-in-class).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>And add to this the ability to add own tags (if they can be re-used within a certain scope in the system, as they seem to be able to in Sharepoint, the better) to content.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I would love a tutorial on how to, if not accomplish this then at least come as close to as possible, in Alfresco.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>(I'm pretty confused by the 'categories'&gt;'tags' in Alfresco Explorer and the 'tags' in Share, and their respective use, which I have not been able to reconcile…)</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 12:06:44 GMT petter 2010-06-15T12:06:44Z Tag and taxonomy management https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/tag-and-taxonomy-management/m-p/243335#M196465 Hi,Trying to decide whether Alfresco is what we need within our organisation… Comparing its features to Sharepoint.

And the category 'Tags' is where they could meet (i.e. users wanting to tag content will have some pre-defined tags but are also free to create their own)?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Seems nice enough, only I cannot get it to work this way.</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>I created a couple of categories under 'Tags'. But after adding a piece of content, adding to it the aspect 'taggable', and click 'edit metadata'&gt;'Tags/Select' these tags/categories won't appear for selection. Have I missed something?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Also, while Categories&gt;Tags can be structured into a hierachy, there is no way to enter tags in a hierarchical fashion from the content tagging dialog? Or, alternatively, to re-structure user-added tags from some administration console?`</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks!</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Jun 2010 11:55:02 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/tag-and-taxonomy-management/m-p/243336#M196466 petter 2010-06-16T11:55:02Z
