Term stores are one of the most popular features introduced in SharePoint 2010 and carried over to SharePoint 2013. Finally, customers have a central location for managing shared metadata. But creating, maintaining, editing and copying term stores in SharePoint isn’t easy. You can’t import existing classification vocabularies used by other systems into SharePoint making it hard to govern and find content across systems.
