I am new to SharePoint 2013. I am trying to provision a new site with an initial term set used for navigation.

I was thinking i could use Visual Studio & create a Site Definition--similar to using <NavBars> in onet.xml. Is there an equivalent for using managed metadata instead?

Start here. It speaks to using Term sets for global navigation.

Overview of managed navigation in SharePoint Server 2013 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn194311%28v=office.15%29.aspx#section1

You can find step by step instructions here:

You can implement these changes post deployment of your site definition.

You can also create these with code.

  • I'm not sure now to add the terms to my site definition. Maybe I'm completely off base. Is there something I need to add to onet.xml?
