Domain

  1. A field or sphere of activity, influence or expertise. (from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/domain)
  2. A delineated portion or sphere of reality corresponding to a scientific discipline (such as cell biology or electron microscopy), or to an area of knowledge or interest such as the Great War or stamp collecting. (from Building Ontologies with Basic Formal Ontology, R. Arp, B. Smith, A. Spear)

proposals (FL, 2018-08-21):

  • add understanding of domain as in description logics/OWL/mathematics, in the sense of domain-/range-constraints, domain of a relation
  • add understanding of domain as synonymous with universe of discourse in logic
