3. Content Types
A content type is a group of settings that describe the shared behavior of a specific group of documents. 
Content types make it possible to organize and manage documents in a consistent way across a site.
Categorize your documents:
Document Type = Content Type
For example, SOPs, Work Instructions, White Papers, Articles.
In GMP environment, there are controlled documents. Content types are very useful to manage them.

4. Content Types Hierarchy
Content types are organized into a hierarchy: parent and child content types.
Site content types ---> parent content types.
Library or list content types ---> child content types.
Site content type ---> metadata, workflows, policies.
Library content type ---> will inherit them.
Create libraries ---> select a site content type ---> all metadata, workflows, policies will be applied.
Change settings for many libraries ---> change the site content type.
Change settings for one library only ---> change that library settings only; it will not override the parent type.

11. Workflows
Workflow is the automated movement of documents through a sequence of actions or tasks. 
Workflows can streamline the cost and time required to coordinate business processes.
Set up workflows before they can be started – either in a content type or a library level.
Start a workflow at an item level.
Workflow status can be checked by users.
Workflow can be customized by users.
Workflows can be modified when in progress.
Types – approval, collect feedback, collect signatures, three-state.

Example: controlled documents.
Collect Feedback   –   routes a document to people for feedback.
Collect Signatures  –  routes a document to people to collect their digital signatures.

19. Taxonomy
Taxonomy is a hierarchical structure for the classification and organization of content.
Taxonomy is very important for SharePoint navigation and browsing.
Taxonomy development requires cooperation of departments.
Successful taxonomy – not too deep and not too wide.
There is no such thing as finished taxonomy.
Taxonomy in SharePoint is represented by sites, sub-sites, libraries, lists, and folders.
Create taxonomy before you start creating sites, sub-sites, libraries, lists, folders.
2010 version offers taxonomy management – taxonomy store – managed metadata service.
Galaxy Consulting

20. Taxonomy Factors
There are three key factors in taxonomy development: business context, content, and a user.
Business Context - What is the purpose of the taxonomy? How is the taxonomy going to be used?
Content - What is the content scope? Possibilities include companywide, within an organizational unit, etc.
What content sources will the taxonomy be built upon?
User - Who will be using the taxonomy? Possibilities include employees, customers, partners, etc. What are the user profiles?
Construct taxonomy with users feedback.

Explain benefits before deployment.

Provide assurance of training and assistance.
Make everything very easy and very intuitive.
Point out benefits and usefulness – how it is better than what a user is doing now.
Provide training early on.
Provide documentation.
Demonstrate that it is easy and consistent with what the user already knows or already does.
Let the user try it in safe, verifiable increments.
Galaxy Consulting

58. User Adoption Strategies
User adoption is not a single event or decision on the part of a user. It happens in phases, which are affected by the frequency of product use.
A progressive user adoption strategy consciously moves a user to new levels of product acceptance over time, through an orchestrated sequence of exposures to the product’s functionality.
Consider the following steps:
identify core functionality;
make the core functionality bulletproof from a usability perspective;
identify sequences that go from core functions to advanced functions;
construct product interventions to move users to advanced functionality.
