Hi Brian,
We are currently configuring SharePoint to manage our records. We are still in the development stage, but have decided to move ahead with all three options: Classification, Controlled Vocabulary (taxonomy), and a folksonomy.
Our Classification and Controlled Vocabulary are controlled by the central Records Management Group. Classification is a required field. We are using the Enterprise Keyword field where users have an option to tag their documents with terms from the taxonomy or the folksonomy (as both are available is this field). Any popular folksonomy terms will eventually be added to the Controlled Vocabulary by the RM Group.
SharePoint's MMS is also used to managed choice lists, so many business specific choice list terms will end up in our taxonomy also, although only made available in a particular metadata field. These are largely stipulated by the business (e.g. security classification and project phase).
Don't know if this is helpful, but is seems to be working for us thus far.
Cheers,
Cristina

Subject: Folksonomies vs Taxonomies
Good day,
I am looking at a question about the merits of folksonomies versus controlled vocabularies. In particular, I am interested in their application in a business setting. Are there examples of where folksonomies have been successfully implemented in a business and how effective are they. How does these compare against the more traditional types of classification, such as taxonomies and thesauri. Can the both co-exist in a business setting. Is there a preference for one style or the other. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
