Modules in Application Taxonomy

The application modules are organized in a hierarchy, the highest level being the product line, followed by the product family, application, and logical business area.

There can be multiple levels of logical business areas, with one or more nested within a parent logical business area. A module is a node at any of these levels. Each level is briefly described here.

• Product Line: A collection of products associated with a single brand name, for example, Oracle Fusion.

• Product Family: A collection of products associated with a functional area that may or may not be licensed together as a single unit, for example Oracle Fusion Financials.

• Application: A single product within a product family, containing closely related features for a specific business solution, for example General Ledger.

• Logical Business Area: A collection of business object definitions organized into a logical grouping. It contains the model objects, services, and UI components for those business objects. Logical business areas have their own hierarchy levels and in some cases can be up to two or three levels deep.
