Metadata structure
This section details the metadata structure in Bonzai Intranet.
Site Collection
Each Bonzai Intranet site collection is associated with a term group in a managed metadata service. Different Bonzai Intranet site collections can:
- Share the same term group -This is common in scenarios where the site collections use the same navigation, content targeting, and document portal settings.
- Have unique term groups - For scenarios where site collections require different navigation and have different configurations for content targeting and the document portal.
- Have unique term groups, but reuse some term sets -This can be configured in scenarios where some of the metadata needs to be shared with other site collections but other metadata needs to be unique. In this scenario the different site collections reference different metadata term groups, but terms are reused.
For more information on sharing or reusing terms, see Using Metadata Across Multiple Site Collections.
Term Group
The term group is a top-level container for term sets in a managed metadata service associated with the web application containing the site collection.
Bonzai Intranet references this group in the site collection property bag and in the Bonzai Intranet Administration (BIA) settings store, for the purposes of the Navigation and Content Targets.
