# 4. Taxonomy

# 4.1. Introduction

<span lang="EN-GB">The E2 system is built around the ECCAIRS Taxonomy, constituted by ADREP Taxonomy + ECCAIRS/EU specific Taxonomy. While most of it is centrally maintained, per specific governance through the NA’s established Data and Quality Working Group, there is also the possibility for Authorities to maintain their own Custom Taxonomy, which allows them to adapt their usage of E2 to their own processes. The same applies to the SRIS Taxonomy for safety recommendations.</span>

<span lang="EN-GB">To access the Taxonomies, the National Security Administrator has to access the Taxonomy menu.</span>

<span lang="EN-GB"> </span>The system will display the list of Taxonomies in force for the Authority of the National Security Administrator. It includes the Custom and Central Taxonomies released and ECCAIRS and SRIS Taxonomies depending on the Authority type (NAA, SIA or both).
