5.4 Domain
Discussion:
A Domain identifies a specific business or semantic area within an Ecosystem. It provides the classification level most directly associated with a domain profile.
Within the Monetary Ecosystem, a Domain may identify an area such as Foreign Exchange, Commercial Paper, Settlement, Liquidity, or another financial structured-information processing area.
A Domain provides the business and semantic scope inherited by later logical profiles, implementation profiles, deployment profiles, and evidence plans.

Note:
A Domain is not an implementation profile, deployment environment, DDS Domain ID, runtime plane, or topic namespace.
Example:
Foreign Exchange is a Domain within the Monetary Ecosystem of the Finance Ecosphere.
