This document outlines an information architecture plan for a SharePoint site. It discusses key information architecture concepts like managed metadata, content types, and sites/lists/libraries. It then provides details of the proposed architecture for this SharePoint site, including managed metadata term sets, global site columns, content type hierarchies and properties, and the proposed structure of sites, lists and libraries.
