 SharePartXXL Taxonomy Extension for Microsoft SharePoint

Taxonomy Extension- Share knowledge as well as content
 
 

The SharePartXXL Taxonomy Extension for Microsoft SharePoint enables documents and list items in a SharePoint-based portal to be organized cross-site as part of a connected content network and knowledge model. SharePoint items are associated by category using one or more custom taxonomies. So users can organize documents and other portal contents in the way that they think and work.

With that extension the SharePoint portal really can become a place to share knowledge as well as content.

 FEATURES - Bringing SharePoint to a New Level

Categories List
Tree-structured cross-site categories:
Tree-structured cross-site cross-list cross-type categories are centrally managed in one global category list per WSS/MOSS site collection or site-collection wide (depending on version). Additional columns for parent category, synonymes, related categories and rules for category assignment are provided by default. Simply add your own columns and views to customize the category list display for any web parts. It's simply a SharePoint list - so it is realy easy to handle.
Category SharePoint Navigation

Category tree can be displayed as SharePoint site navigation structure:
The category tree can be displayed as additional SharePoint site navigation structure automatically (by default on the left hand side). The navigation is linked to category-based sites with metadata-based lists of all items and documents tagged with the given category. The category-based sites can be customized in look and feel by placing additional web parts for improved navigation, e.g. tag cloud, A-Z index or category information web part.

Category Tree
Categories can be displayed in Category Tree Web Part:
The tree-style categories can be displayed on any page using the Category Tree Web Part based on customizable category views. The numer of items and documents that are tagged with this category can be shown. The categories are linked to category-based result lists that shows all items and documents that have the given category assigned.
Category A-Z Index
Categories can be displayed as flat A-Z directory index:

Category Items
Category-based result lists with meta-data:
Consistent lists of metadata of all items that are tagged with the selected category are shown on the category-based sites with default attributes automatically

Items Views

Cross-site views of metadata from all items of a given category are provided , e.g. By Source List, By Modification, By Author, By Content Type or calendar based.  Additional views and custom attributes / metadata can be easily configured using list based templates. Using these views it is very easy to have a top-level view to all content of a given category or topic: Simply to see: Who works on what? What has changed in last weeks? Where are interesting sites and lists?  

Alert me
Subscriptions to category-based RSS feeds and e-mail alerts:

One or more categories can be added to a list item or document in default SharePoint edit mode using a simple and easy to use form based UI with category search and suggestion features, based on last used sets for the given list / library or with the help of rule-based categorizers. By configuration the whole category can be shown or subtrees only.
