Creating Domains

A Domain is the highest-level organizational structure in Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub. Domains are intended to contain logically related child Domains, Application Areas and/or a library of validated object definitions that are suitable for reuse.

See Object Definitions and Instances, and their Containers for further information.

To create a Domain, you must have the LSH Bootstrap Security application role. You must assign at least one user group to the Domain or no one will be able to use the Domain.

Nesting Domains

The number of levels of Domains contained within other Domains is determined by setting the Domain Nest Value profile for your Oracle LSH instance. If this value is set to 1, your top-level Domains cannot contain any child Domains. If this value is set to 2, your top-level Domains can contain child Domains. If the value is set to 3, the child Domains can contain child Domains, and so on.

See "Setting the Maximum Number of Nested Domains" in the Oracle Life Sciences Data Hub System Administrator's Guide for instructions.

• Creating a Top-Level Domain
  A top-level Domain has no parent in the user interface. You can create any number of Domains at the top hierarchical level.
• Creating a Child Domain
  A child Domain is a subdomain; a Domain contained in another Domain.
