A Knowledge Center is a specific community template to support intensive
loads of documents and link sharing by enabling formal tagging that
leverages the SharePoint Metadata Service (Term Sets).
Hashtags and tags are great way to structure information. They are fast and flexible.
But for some matters, they are not enough in the corporate context.
Sometimes shared information needs to be recorded in a more structured
way.
Knowledge Centers are a solution to encourage knowledge capturing
without compromising the social approach that ensures information is
shared in a fresh, simple and engaging way.
Formal tagging can be mandatory or not. In both cases it dramatically
facilitates later retrieval of information. Its ShareBox is exclusively focused
on sharing and therefore all other options (i.e. polls, praises, etc) have
been removed.
Finally Knowledge Centers captures all the information shared in external links, bring the metadata to your corporate database and store it in specific sections (documents, videos, links, etc) that are easy to filter and connected to social conversations.
