<pid="section-abstract-1">This document describes the MISP taxonomy format which describes a simple JSON format to
represent machine tags (also called triple tags) vocabularies. A public directory of common vocabularies

cyber security events, threats, suspicious events, or indicators.<ahref="#section-abstract-1"class="pilcrow">¶</a></p>

information can include indicators of compromise, malicious file indicators, financial fraud indicators
or even detailed information about a threat actor. While sharing such indicators or information, classification plays an important role
to ensure adequate distribution, understanding, validation or action of the shared information. MISP taxonomies is a public repository
