Taxonomy structure

ECCAIRS taxonomy elements are structured as follows:

  • Entities 

  • Attributes

  • Value Lists

  • Values

Entities

Entities represent items to which specific attributes are assigned—for example, an “Aircraft” involved in an incident or the associated “Events” description.

Multiple instances of an entity may exist when several items are involved (e.g., multiple aircraft in a single incident).

Entities can have child entities (e.g., an “Engine” belonging to an “Aircraft”).

Entities may also be linked to other entities (e.g., “Airspace” or “Aerodrome” where the “Aircraft” is operating).
