Metadata
The managed metadata service provides a mechanism to distribute collections of
‘terms’ or ‘tags’ – Terms sets provide more functionality to the user over traditional
drop down selection lists. Such as
1. Simple type ahead, as a user types a term the suggested options appear to the user.
Similar to how you get suggested search phrases when you search on Google.
2. Terms can be multiple synonyms allowing many ways to find the same term.

3. Term Browser. In addition to type ahead a user can browser a tree structure of
terms
4. Nested Terms. Terms can be grouped together to aid navigation
5. Terms can be distributed across all SharePoint farms ensuring content is being
described in a consistent way across the company.
6. Terms can act as ‘refiners’ within document library and search results.
