About Domains

A conceptual model domain is a group of entities and actions that you can use to organize and filter conceptual models. For example, you can create a domain called Alcatel DSLAMs that contains the resources (the Alcatel devices) that can be used as a DSLAM. You can include conceptual model entities in multiple domains, and you can create a hierarchy of domains that include subdomains. Subdomains can decompose into smaller groupings (for example, into broadband products and broadband services). Domains can be used as subdomains, and subdomains can be shared across multiple domains.

You can filter the Solution view to display domains and view and navigate among only those entities that are associated with domains.

You do not convert Domain entities into application entities in Design Studio. Rather, Domain entities help you organize, filter, and navigate conceptual models.

See Design Studio Concepts for more information about domains.
