The Core Metadata Toolkit delivers three ready‑to‑import SharePoint term sets—Document Type, Department/Function, and Project Management—giving you an AI‑ready foundation to tag, organise, and manage every document with ease.

Overview

If you’ve ever stared at an empty term store wondering where to begin, this toolkit is your shortcut.

The Core Metadata Toolkit gives you a professional starting point for tagging and organising your content the right way — without spending weeks defining structures or naming conventions.

These three essential term sets provide the backbone of every effective information architecture, designed specifically for modern SharePoint and Microsoft 365 environments.

Once imported, your team can immediately start tagging, searching, and managing content more effectively — setting the stage for Copilot readiness and improved AI accuracy.

What's Included

Document Type Term Set

A complete, standardised set of document categories (e.g. Policy, Procedure, Template, Form, Report, Image, Video).
Provides clarity and consistency across every document library.

Department/Function Term Set

An organisational structure term set covering common corporate departments and functions (e.g. HR, Finance, IT, Operations, Marketing).
Perfect for filtering and surfacing department-specific content.

Project Management Term Set

A metadata hierarchy designed for tagging project-related content (e.g. Project Phase, Deliverable Type, Project Owner).
Ideal for teams managing projects across multiple business units.

How It Works

  1. Download the CSV files – each pre-formatted for SharePoint’s Term Store.

  2. Import directly into your environment – no editing required.

  3. Start tagging content instantly – and watch your SharePoint search improve.

Each file is clean, standardised, and ready to use — saving you hours of manual setup and trial-and-error.

Why It Works

Metadata is the backbone of modern SharePoint — and your Copilot experience depends on it.
Without a structured taxonomy, Copilot can’t accurately interpret or return relevant content.

This toolkit provides an AI-ready metadata foundation, ensuring your SharePoint is structured, searchable, and ready for intelligent insights.
