The taxonomy below consists of a subset of nodes from the C3 Taxonomy version 5.0 released on Sep 23, 2021.
Each node in the tree is prefixed with a number describing the level of the node in the tree (i.e. the distance from the root node).
Each node may also be postfixed with a tuple with three values, indicating:
- The number of times the BSP profile link mandatory standards to a node in the taxonomy
- The number of times the BSP profile link candidate standards to a node in the taxonomy
- The number of times a taxonomy node is referenced from a non BSP service profile
