| This page shows the taxonomy structure of the EO services organised thematically. There are 6 classes of service as shown on the tabs. Each class contains a number of thematic sectors into which the EO services are grouped. - Thematic Sector: this is the classification of the grouped EO services.
- Client view: These are each EO service described as a client may wish.
- Key-words: these define the products which can make up an EO service.
