Taxonomy View
An estate-level visualisation that organises entities by any shared taxonomy - business domains, data classification, compliance tiers - with cross-term relationships, coverage tracking, and project provenance.
What You See
The taxonomy view presents the estate as groups of entities organised under taxonomy terms. Each term is a visual container showing the entities that belong to it, with project provenance badges indicating which project contributed each entity. Entities that appear under multiple terms show cross-term relationships, and unclassified entities are surfaced separately so you can track coverage.
Key Features
How Taxonomy Data Flows
Example Use Cases
| Taxonomy | What It Shows | Who Uses It |
|---|---|---|
| Business Domains | Which entities belong to which business capability (Payments, Orders, Customers) | Enterprise architects planning domain boundaries |
| Data Classification | Which entities handle PII, sensitive, or public data | Data governance teams and compliance officers |
| Compliance Tiers | Which entities fall under GDPR, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or SOX requirements | Regulatory and audit teams |
| Technology Platforms | Which entities are served by which platform (AWS, Azure, on-premises) | Platform teams planning migrations |
Project Provenance
Every entity in the taxonomy view carries a provenance badge showing which project contributed it. This means you can immediately see whether a taxonomy term is dominated by one project or spread across many, which helps identify ownership boundaries and integration points. When entities from different projects appear under the same term, it signals a shared domain that may need coordinated governance.
