Information Domain

Information Domain within the Infrastructure system refers to a specific area of analysis which consists of stored data models with the related Technical and Business data definitions for processing. An Information Domain forms the backbone for all the data analysis. Information domain comprises of Metadom Schema and Datadom Schema. Metadom Schema holds all the Business data definitions and Datadom Schema consists of stored data models. For RDBMS Infodom, Metadom and Datadom Schemas can be pointed to the same Database Schema. For HDFS Database, Metadom should mandatorily point to an RDBMS Schema and Datadom Schema should point to the Hive Schema.
