== Introduction ==
'''Open Food Facts''' uses multiple '''taxonomies''' for its inner workings. These taxonomies run from simple word lists with their translations, to complex hierarchies with relations between entries and attributes. The taxonomies are used to analyse and structure the information found on products.


'''Open Food Facts''' uses '''global taxonomies''' for fields such as '''categories''', '''brands''', '''labels''' and '''countries'''. This page explains how taxonomies work in Open Food Facts and how they can be updated and enhanced.
