If the CEE Taxonomy and Syntax are distinct, why are the CEE Taxonomy terms included in the Data Dictionary?
The categories used in the CEE Taxonomy are present as fields in the Data Dictionary and Syntaxes. The inclusion of the taxonomy as fields in the data dictionary is only used to indicate how the event type is specified within a CEE log. While it would be possible to define the taxonomy portion in-line with the dictionary, we believe that it is best that the CEE Taxonomy and its terms are defined in their own specification. By doing this, it is the hope that the specification becomes more streamlined and implementable.
