Hi,<br />
A content type in SharePoint is a reusable collection of settings/meta data you can apply to an item (could be a list item, a folder or a document) - eg if you have &quot;Sales Orders&quot; they all would have the meta data customer number and order number.<br />
I have not that much experience with Drupal but as far as I read the documentation, they are pretty similar.<br />
<br />
Good starting point for content types:<br />

SharePoint 201 Content Types vs. Drupal Content Types?

Hello Experts,

I&#39;m trying to grasp SharePoint content types.  Are they basically the same as Drupal Content Types?

Microsoft Sharepoint is a software platform and family of software products used for collaboration and web publishing combined. These capabilities include developing web sites, portals, intranets, content management systems, search engines, wikis, blogs, and other tools for business intelligence and collaboration. SharePoint has a Microsoft Office-like interface, and it is closely integrated with the Office suite.

Drupal is an open-source content-management framework written in PHP used as a back-end framework for websites and is also used for knowledge management and business collaboration. The standard release of Drupal contains basic features common to content management systems, including user account registration and maintenance, menu management, RSS feeds, taxonomy, page layout customization, and system administration. Drupal runs on any computing platform that supports both a Web server capable of running PHP and a database to store content and configuration.

Content management (CM) is a set of processes and technologies that supports the collection, managing, and publishing of information in any form or medium. When stored and accessed via computers, this information may be more specifically referred to as digital content, or simply as content. Digital content may take the form of text (such as electronic documents), multimedia files (such as audio or video files), or any other file type that follows a content lifecycle requiring management.
