The four layers of taxonomy support how many views into the data?

• A. Two views
• B. Five views
• C. Three views
• D. Four views

Answer: (C)

Taxonomy is a way to organize data so terms and meanings stay consistent across the organization. With four layers, you build a progression from high-level business concepts down to concrete data elements. This structure gives you three practical ways to look at the data: a business view that uses business terms and governance, a technical view that links those terms to data sources, schemas, and lineage, and an analytical view that guides reporting and analysis. The layers ensure these perspectives stay aligned, even as you drill from broad concepts to detailed data. So, three views.
