2016 Knowledge Center taxonomy integration

We are in the process of evaluating Taxonomy vendors and would like to get details on the requirements for integration with SDL. Documentation on the docs site, only lists examples on how to integrate it with Smartlogic. Would anyone be able to provide details on what functionality is required by SDL to integrate with a taxonomy system?

  • Hi Akheil,

    You are correct, the requirements are not very clear. In the release notes it mentions "Every item must have a unique identifier and a label.

    To help you understand further I'll try to provide some more context.

    Metadata Binding is the extension that drives the integration. On the page you can read more on how it works.

    Metadata Binding extension allows integration with any sort of external "tag" repository. The only requirement is as mentioned "Every tag in the source's repository must have a unique identifier."

    Therefore any taxonomy source is a compatible tag source for metadata binding.

    The implementation of the extension must be in .NET. In .NET you need to bridge the SDK with whatever technology the taxonomy provides, e.g. soap or rest api.
