Taxonomy

The taxonomy is the catalogue describing what information can be stored in the reports and how this information is encoded in the data fields. 

The ECCAIRS2 Taxonomy is publicly available and serves as the standard reference for all Occurrence Reports. Users can access the latest published version without registration. Additionally, Authorities may create custom taxonomies with tailored attributes, entities, or value lists, which require user registration to view.
