... 63 Developing an Operations and Safety Database Chapter 4 describes considerations for developing an operations and safety database, asso­ ciated challenges, and a method for collecting and sharing operations and safety data internal to airports for the purpose of improving risk­based decisionmaking at an airport. 4.1 Motivation The collection of operations and safety data internal to airports is primarily driven by the federal mandates of 14 CFR Part 139, Airport Certification.

... 64 Collecting and Sharing of Operations and Safety Data Operations data at airports is generally measured in terms of the volume and character of aircraft movements or passenger activity and is recorded on a regular basis (daily/monthly/ annually) by the airport or through a variety of federal resources.
From page 65...
... Developing an Operations and Safety Database 65 At an individual airport, the data can be useful for discerning unforeseen conditions, and to identify policies, practices, and trends that may require mitigation. By sharing the data with others, the collective understanding of common safety risks that can be avoided may be achieved, and in many cases, the development of a forum for sharing lessons learned and best practices to avoid future safety­related events.

Tables 4­1 through 4­8 are examples of a proposed taxonomy for an operations and safety database.
