Data Categories are labels used to describe the type of data processed by a system. You can assign one or more data categories to a field when classifying a system.

Data Categories are hierarchical with natural inheritance, meaning you can classify data coarsely with a high-level category (e.g. `user.provided` data), or you can classify it with greater precision using subclasses (e.g. `user.provided.identifiable.contact.email` data).

### 2. Data Use Categories

Data Use Categories are labels that describe how, or for what purpose(s) a component of your system is using data. Similar to data categories, you can assign one or multiple Data Use Categories to a system.

Data Use Categories are also hierarchical with natural inheritance, meaning you can easily describe what you're using data for either coarsely (e.g. `provide.system.operations`) or with more precision using subclasses (e.g. `provide.system.operations.support.optimization`).
Data Use Categories are also hierarchical with natural inheritance, meaning you can easily describe what you're using data for either coarsely (e.g. `provide.service.operations`) or with more precision using subclasses (e.g. `provide.service.operations.support.optimization`).
