What is a Taxonomy?

Taxonomy helps you understand how companies are classified across sectors, feeds, business models, and more detailed market categories. You can use it to explore a market, understand how a sector is structured, discover emerging themes, and find companies within a specific classification.

You can access Taxonomy in two ways:

  1. From Explore Databases → Companies → Market & Taxonomy → Taxonomy

The overview gives you a snapshot of Tracxn's taxonomy coverage, including:

  • Total Feeds

  • Total Taxonomies

  • Companies in these Taxonomies

  • Total Taxonomy Nodes

You can also search for a specific sector from the overview.

To explore the detailed taxonomy across all sectors, select Explore Taxonomy for all the sectors. This takes you to the Taxonomy view under Explore Databases → Market & Taxonomy.
