OTM Domains, Standard Schema and Data Dictionary

Domains:

OTM Data is organized into domains. Each domain is like grouping of data / business transactions based on the different business units with in the same organization.

If there is a corporation with logistics requirements across various business units like “Merchandise Shipping”, “Food and Beverages”, etc - you typically create one domain for each of these business units so that users and their roles can be tied to each business unit. User/role tied to a particular domain can only access data for their specific domain/business unit. Also advantage with domains is that customization specific to a business unit can be better controlled/maintained. For example, OTM Agents(workflows) with custom code can be developed specific to each domain so they they trigger only for transactions within that domain.
