It is unlikely that an organization will require all the 9,200 terms imported from the Taxonomy file. An organization can control which terms will be available for use for indexing by setting the display status of the term.
Organizations that use the taxonomy published by AIRS can also add custom terms to the imported taxonomy to suit their own needs. Custom terms are specific to the organization and are not part of the third party taxonomy. New terms can be created, existing terms can be modified and terms that do not apply to the organization can be deleted.
