There are one or more errors with the data you have entered. The site does not contain a default keywords term store


An end user might encounter this error message when trying to close his or her profile after updating the following information: Ask Me About, Skills etc

What is the reason behind this error?
This error can occur when the SharePoint administrator has not configured a Managed Metadata service application and specified the connection as the default keyword term store for the Web application that hosts My Sites.

What is managed metadata service application?
A Managed Metadata service application enables Web applications to store and access keywords from a managed metadata term database.

Resolution:
For My Sites, this functionality is required for users to specify keywords in the Ask Me About section or use keywords for social tagging. A Managed Metadata service application is highly recommended for My Sites. It must be configured as the default keyword term store for the Web application.
