What we do

• Deliver the market leading , and functions to create an Enterprise

Information Governance technology platform

• Deliver the only solution with the SharePoint 2010/2013 Term store and managed metadata properties

• Once the platform is implemented it solves some key business issues:1. Improved compliance, security, and governance around enterprise

information

2. Auto-classification, intelligent taxonomy management

3. Improve retrieval and business decisions, search

4. Identification, securing and removal of sensitive information

What we do

1. Classification – Auto-classification • File Shares, websites , Hummingbird

• SharePoint - MOSS 2007, 2010, 2013, O365

• Other repositories (Hummingbird, EMC, Interwoven)

• Structured content - Databases

2. Intelligent Migration of existing content • File Shares, SharePoint, to other targets

• Remove Duplicates

3. Improve Retrieval and Search by tagging everything

4. Taxonomy Management• Semantic Metadata Generation (suggestion engine)

Taxonomy Basics

Purpose of Taxonomies

Taxonomies are all about organization!

Allows the user to understand the structure of your knowledge domain at one easy glance. (INTUITIVE, PREDICTIVE)

The idea to organize this content and records for navigation, information discovery, and findability is critical for the success of businesses and government entities.

• Easier information management/ records management

• Flexibility to respond to changing needs.

• Foundation for findability and usability.

Why Taxonomies

Visual Knowledge

Retrieval

Records Management

Taxonomy Types

• List

• Tree

• Hierarchy

• Polyhierarchy

• Facets

• Matrix

• System Map

• Chunking and Familiarity

• Familiarization Name a type of taxonomy – uses

Taxonomy Structure & Usability

• Level 1 – 15^1= 15

• Level 2 – 15^2= 225

• Level 3 – 15^3= 3 375

• Level 4 - 15^4= 50 625

• Level 5 - 15^5= 759 375

Taxonomy and IA Validation Tools

• Many web tools – can upload data, can publish and test, reporting and generation of results (graphs etc.)

• Card Sorting Tools

• IA validation

Where Taxonomies have Implications

Benefits

• Drives everything – Security, Search, Retention, etc.

• Consistent Use of Terminology

• Better Search results, Navigation

• Better Business Decisions as latest and most up to date information is available and retrievable

• Better Client Service Delivery – efficient, retrieval etc.

Where Taxonomies have Implications

Standard for Electronic Documents and Records Management Solutions (EDRMS)

3.3 EDRM solutions are automated systems used to manage, protect and preserve information resources from creation to disposition. These solutions maintain appropriate contextual information (metadata) and enable organizations to access, use and dispose of records (i.e., their retention, destruction or transfer) in a managed, systematic and auditable way in order to ensure accountability, transparency and meet departmental business objectives.

Improved Business Decisions & Client Service Delivery

• Navigation improved

• Search/retrieval improved

• Get Information Faster

easier, more convenient, more seamless access to

government services; and

• Better organized information leads to better quality/performance

higher levels of quality

and performance in service delivery by

government organizations

Review Three (3)Classification MethodsManual, Semi-Automated, Automated

Manual (classifiers, users)

• Subject based file plan

• Records Classifier – classify paper and electronic files

• GoC department records classifier can classify 147 documents per day

• Open document, scan, determine classification to the file plan

• 5 classifiers, 220 days = 161 700 documents against one taxonomy per year @ a cost of ~ $300K

• No other metadata – organization, function-activity, fiscal year, etc.

• Worse yet = Manual classifications by USERS (training – too much effort)

Client Service

2015-04-28

Semi-Automated

• Some basic rules

• Programmatically done – using syntactical metadata

• Usually based upon file properties(author, title etc.) and location

• Garbage In, Garbage Out

Automated Classification

• Based upon rules – not ‘magic’

• Accuracy is proportional to level of effort put in

• 100 000 items, 5 taxonomies, 1500 terms, = 150 Million classifications which is an IMPOSSIBLE number = at any accuracy rate for any IM/RM

Automated Classification allows users to validate results and reduces the sheer impossible number of classifications

What is your Correct Method?

• Criteria• Regulatory – policy, directives etc.

• PII

• Security

• Legal

• Nature of business (defense, security, intelligence etc.)

• Classification requirements

• Volume

4. Enterprise Keywords

Managed Metadata

• Can have more than one Managed Metadata Service Application

• Synonyms, multiple languages – needs language packs

• Create some Records Management Specific columns

• Try to reduce End User metadata fatigue• Type ahead, Term Picker – FRONT of WORD only….

• Default values vs. End user selection

• Metadata drives functionality within SharePoint for many features (Drop-Off Library, Content Organizer Rules, Search)

Managed Metadata

Classification

• User versus default values versus Automatic tagging / classification

• The search is not broken, it is the absence of “Accurate” and “Intuitive” metadata that is missing

Workshop #3Classify Your Own Content Hands-on

Classify your content

Classify Your Own Content Hands-on

• Web site content

• 2 levels

• Taxonomy • IM Common Core

• Review and Browse Results

• Classify – add rules

Rules for Classification

• Rules based upon content

• Rules based upon file propertiescse-LastModifiedDate < 2000/01/01

FILE TYPE = MSG

• Rules based upon location

• Rules based upon Language (English, French)

Architecting SharePoint + AGA + CS 10.6

• SharePoint • In Place vs. Records Center

• Open Text Content Server 10.6 + AGA• By Profile (applies to documents/sites – not folders)

• Library Profile – CAML rules

• Site Profile

• By User (applies to Documents/Folders/sites)

Library Profile

1. Get the profile assignments from the configuration. For every assignment, the assigned document library is processed.

2. Query the documents according to the rules defined in the profile.

3. Archive the queried documents individually according to the profile configuration.

Client Service

2015-04-28

• Uses a Library Profile to define document archiving rules from SharePoint to Content Server (aka GCDOCS)

• Archiving rules can be managed centrally

• Document archiving is transparent to SharePoint users

• Administration of archiving rules based on SharePoint document properties may be more complex

• Changes to SharePoint Content Types and Term Store (MMS) will require update to Library Profile

• Users must be aware when their documents will be archived

• Specific metadata values

Library Archiving

• Uses a Site Profile to define both site and document archiving rules from SharePoint to Content Server (aka GCDocs)

• Aligns to SharePoint site governance policy

• When Site is deemed inactive / closed, it is eligible for AGA archive

• Allows management of SharePoint resources

• Archive both documents and lists• delete unused sites and reclaim content

database space

• Site restoration only works if source SharePoint site configuration is “exactly” the same as when the site was archived

Site Archiving

• Allows SharePoint users to manage document lifecycle

• Choose individual document(s) to be archived

• Archive options:• Move / replace link

• Copy / incremental update

• (formerly Synced Copy)

• Requires SharePoint users to be aware of:

• IM Archiving process

• Content Server folders / Classifications and Category/attributes
