Users are able to categorize content in SharePoint 2010.

How are the categories stored in SharePoint? How is it possible to return content by a category? (object model, sql direct)?

Thanks

This is pretty general question. The answer depends on how are you planning to categorize the content. Can you be little more elaborate! – Ashish Patel Oct 22 '10 at 3:14
It all depends on what you want to accomplish. You can use the CQWP and filter the list by categories, create a webpart yourself with the OM, use the DVWP with a nice CAML query. Everything is possible, as long as you stay off of SQL. If you do that, you'll create a major problem and lost all support of Microsoft. – Jan_V Oct 22 '10 at 19:39
Well, I want users to be able to add tags/categories to content (say wiki pages) however I want to be able to extract the wiki pages and the respective tags/categories associated with the pages. Possible? thx – dave Oct 22 '10 at 21:30

I am working on this issue too. it turns out that the enterprise wiki templates use a managed metadata field that is defined at the site collection level called Wiki Categories. The internal name of this field is Wiki_x0020_Page_x0020_Categories, as near as I can tell. What does not work too well is actually adding an AdditionalFilterField to the web part to allow this field to be filtered on. I have yet to get this to work, so if anybody has any clues I'm interested too. I will be trying the custom CAML query next (a little rough of a solution if you ask me).
