Description

Managing Rich Media Assets in SharePoint Server 2010 (ECM)

Provides capabilities for managing audio, video, and image content types by storing digital media content in SharePoint Server libraries.

Developing with Document Management Features in SharePoint Server 2010 (ECM)

Content Organizer The Content Organizer manages documents that users upload to sites and uses an advanced routing engine and routing rules (defined by site administrators) to determine where documents are saved.

Document Sets The SharePoint Server 2010 Document Sets feature introduces the ability to manage an entire collection of documents, worksheets, presentations, or other types of document content as an entire end-to-end work product.

Metadata is applied to each item in a document set and to the document set as a whole.For documents inside of a document set, administrators can select columns that they want marked as read-only. The property can be edited only on the document set. Any changes to the column that is marked as read-only will be applied to all of the documents inside.

The Welcome page acts as a customizable home page for document sets that displays the properties of the document set.

Document sets support templates and versioning. Templates can be created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Versioning makes it possible to capture the state of the document set at different points in its life cycle, view its history, and restore previous versions of the document set.

Document IDs and the Document ID service The Document ID service is a new feature at the site-collection level that adds a unique identifier (ID) to all documents throughout the site collection. This feature enables retrieval of documents by document ID regardless of their current or future location.

Location-based metadata defaults  SharePoint Server 2010 enables library administrators to specify different default column values for each folder in a document library.

Metadata navigation and filtering This feature helps make content more discoverable to users across the enterprise by providing indexes on metadata fields.

Managing Enterprise Metadata in SharePoint Server 2010 (ECM)

Metadata is everywhere in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. The managed metadata feature provides the infrastructure and tools for used to create and manage metadata througout the enterprise. Administrators, taxonomists, and users use the Metadata Manager to create flat or hierarchical lists of terms, which are kept in term stores. The Metadata feature supports associating custom properties with each term, assigning languages to terms, and organizing terms into term sets. It also provides the ability to disambiguate, reuse, merge, and deprecate terms.

The term store is a database that enables management and retrieval of metadata and metadata relationships.

Developing with SharePoint Server 2010 Records and eDiscovery Features (ECM)

Updated records management  SharePoint Server 2010 provides a solution other than archive-based records management. Instead of being exclusively based on a Records Center model, the Records Management feature now provides a choice between using the Records Center (archival) approach, and managing records in the enterprise where they are located. This new feature is named In-Place Records Management and is at the site-collecton level.

eDiscovery is also available now as a site-level feature that can be activated anywhere and used to add documents to an eDiscovery hold from the entire site collection.

Managing Web Content in SharePoint Server 2010 (ECM)

Content By Query Web Part (CQWP) enhancements These enhancements include the ability to filter query results based on the query string or current page content values, and content-to-content targeting.

Enterprise content types You can define content types once and use them in multiple site collections in the same or different farms.

HTML Editor enhancements Enhancements include cross-browser support and tight integration with the ribbon.

HTML simplification/XHTML 1.0 compliance support Simplified and updated HTML and cascading style sheets (CSS) markup improves usability and reduces end-user perceived latency (EUPL). HTML simplification increases SharePoint Server 2010 speed and its conformance to legal standards. XHTML 1.0 compliance is supported, but not required.

ECM Programming Model

You can use the ECM programming model to extend the functionality of ECM and create custom solutions. The model includes methods and functions that support three types of programming: an API for server-side programming, and a client object model and Web services for client-side programming. This section highlights new API and Web services added since Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007.
