!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is about organizing [data] in parent-child [hierarchies|Hierarchy] vs using a [Taxonomy]
[Taxonomy] is the use of [Attributes] (or [Metadata]) attached or associated for the [classification] of [Data]
[Folders], [Groups] [organizationalUnits] (All [Containers]) or, more generally, parent-child [hierarchies|Hierarchy] of [data] are natural. [Humans] understand and accept them. [Humans] are used to deductive searching - getting more and more specific while we’re on an information scent for something. [Folders]s and [Groups] support this.
Why are [{$pagename}] the new F word? (As said by Chris Riley in [2011|Year 2011]) "It’s not because I promote disorganization. Quite the opposite. Folders only give you __the perception of organization__. Real organization happens with [Metadata]. The key points are that [folders] are:"
* Very limiting
* Poorly maintained
* Setup on the fly
"There are times when there does need to me additional high level [containers] be it a root folder, site collection, site, library, cabinet, database, whatever you want to call it. But it’s not for the purpose of organization. Creating additional new root [containers] should happen based on:"
* Size limiting factors
* [Security] requirements (Perhaps?)
* [Backup] and [Recovery|Disaster Recovery] SLA
* Performance
[Containers] limit [Data Classification] to one [folder]. By looking into the [Container], you only know that the [data] is [classified|Classification] to that container.
[Search] may never be the 100% answer to finding content. Organization of [content] is key in case search is not used, and to even improve search results and experience. While [{$pagename}]s may give you the perception you are organizing content, it is really just a __bad habit__.
!! [Content|data] Management Systems
[Content] (or data] Management Systems have long been associating [Metadata] to a specific file.
!! [Groups Are Bad]
[Groups Are Bad] is a limited case of [Data Classification] by [Containerization]
!! Folders and [Cloud Data Stores]
In most [Cloud Data Stores], there are really no [Folders]. The folders are just a set of [Hierarchical] [Metadata] with an [API] interface so they appear like a [folder] structure.
