SharePoint 2010 - Terminology This article provides definitions for common terms relating to SharePoint 2010.
Content type - A collection of Site Columns grouped together to define an item that you would like to store.
Farm - Installation of one or more load-balanced Web servers, and back-end servers, with a configuration database.
Farm Feature - Feature that is scoped globally for the entire server farm. For this reason, farm Features are also known as "global Features." Unlike other Feature types, a global Feature is activated by default in the farm. A farm Feature contains several elements that are critical for implementing applications and logic.
Feature - A package of Windows SharePoint Services elements that helps a user accomplish a particular goal or task. For example, one Feature might be named "My Favorite Items" and contain the following:
A custom list that stores, per user, a list of the user's favorite items. This list is created as a single hidden list per workspace when a Feature is enabled.
A custom menu item, named "Add to Favorites", that is attached to all lists and adds an item to the Favorites list.
A Web Part that shows the user the top 10 favorites, with usage and link tracking to bring true favorites to the top.
Each of these individual elements, by themselves, may not be useful, but when you enable all of them on a site they become a complete Feature that solves a particular task.
