So, I’m preparing for my first talk at the SharePoint Best Practices Conference here in Reston. It’s early, and my talk is about content discovery using a mathematical modeling technique based on matrix manipulation. Ok, I admit it’s kind of an abstract topic, but really pretty interesting (more in another post).
Anyway, I’m sitting there at the breakfast table thinking about content types, taxonomies, information policies and “ECM for the Masses”, and all of a sudden a poem starts to materialize in my brain. Has that ever happened to you? Just all of a sudden, a poem pops into your head? Here goes:
Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
when content types we do conceive.
Derived from documents and pages,
Information policies, and retention stages.
Columns with mysterious fields,
to SharePoint must all workers yield!
To SharePoint, all our cares and woes,
Indeed, to SharePoint all our content goes.
You know, it really sounded a lot better on an empty stomach…
