Taxonomies are controlled vocabularies that generate drop-down value lists in the DCB to restrict data entry in certain fields to certain values. The DCB stores these values as term records in the database, associating each term with a particular taxonomy. For more on taxonomies, see UM-3.5 Edit taxonomies (terms).
