2.1.2 Content

Content in a SharePoint Server implementation can be expressed as a namespace hierarchy. From this perspective, a SharePoint implementation consists of folders and files that are stored hierarchically, with a root folder and descendent folders and files. Some folders in the hierarchy have associated site or list objects that define additional behavior and settings. A root site, which is paired with a root folder, has subsites and lists. Each subsite and list has one corresponding folder, as shown in the following diagram.
