Content Type Hub for your Enterprise

Content Type Hub is the new verbage or term you might here a lot while talking about SharePoint 2010 as a enterprise level solution for document or record managment.

In my last assignment we have used Content Type Hub as it was an enterprise level Record Management System implementation. We have heard or known SharePoint as a Content Management System (CMS) since MOSS, but to me it actually comes with SharePoint 2010.

So when we started our implementation in early 2011, it was very tough for me as well to understand what it Content Type Hub and how it works. But thanks to SharePoint 4 Developer I found the answer in very easy language here.

Now, each new feature comes with their pros and cons. So, here are the cons or limitations for using the Content Type Hub.

Managed Metadata Services (MMS) Limitations in SharePoint 2010

I am blogging back after a long long time. Since last 2 years i was very busy in one of the largest migration assignment from DCTM to SharePoint 2010.

We have build one of the largest Record Managment System in SharePoint 2010 history.

So I just wanted to share some of my learnings and findings from some other blogs here.

Managed MetaData is one of the biggest term from SharePoint 2010 for their Record/Document Management system, though there are some limitations associated with the same while using it effectively.

I have found those limitations here.

Content Type User Interface

If you haven’t worked with content types before you haven’t worked with SharePoint since WSS2 and the SPS2003 era. You may not realize this, but Content Types are the method by which you store data in SharePoint, whether you like it or not.
Content Types are schemas for information, defining what your items or documents should contain, how they should behave, and, most importantly for us in this article, how they should appear.
