YOUnite doesn't restrict the data architect to a single data domain domain such as customers (single domain MDM) but allows the architect to model for multiple types (customers, students, employees, parts, product orders, etc) as part of a single solution.
Once a version of a domain is created and its its data records (DRs) are loaded (or mapped in a federated model), it can be referenced by other data domains, adaptors and by API consumers as a source of truth. Domains have version numbers so that other domains, adaptors and applications can bind to a specific domain and version (e.g. students:v3). Data governance can designate data at specific adaptors as the master data and can control who which zone has the appropriate ACLs to access and update it.

Federated domains do not store their data in YOUnite but retrieve and update the data on the systems in which it resides. For example, MIS, ERP or CRM systems. Federated domains require adaptors and , metadata, and scope governance configurations and are covered in detail *TODO: TUTORIAL ON FEDERATED*

The first step in creating a domain is to define the domain name, its type and the owning zone (Although you . You will have to also define the name of the new domain, if new domain's type and the zone it is attached to or its "owning zone". If you do not define the type and owning zone, then YOUnite will be do it for you by default):

| property | required | valid values | description |
|---|---|---|---|
name | yes | Must be at least 3 characters long but no longer than 128. | The domain name. Must be unique to the entire YOUnite deployment since domains are typically shared. TODO NEED SOME DESCRIPTION OF VALID CHARACTER PARAMETERS. |
| description | no | 0 to 255 characters long. If longer it will be truncated. | A human readable description of the domain. |
zoneUuid | no | Owning zone's domain UUID | The zone that the domain, the domain's versions and its data records will be tied to. If this is omitted the caller's current zone will be used. Note that the caller must have permissions to create a domain. |
domainType | no | MDM_DATA_STORE or FEDERATED | The domain type can be either: MDM_DATA_STORE Is which is when the domain's data records are stored in YOUnite. This is used when the entire organization is comfortable or mandated to migrate a domain to a single store. MDM_DATA_STORE is optimal for reference data such as a list of states, countries, zip-codes, etc. FEDERATED domains do not store their data in YOUnite, but reference and update data on the systems in which it resides. Federated domains require adaptors and , metadata and scope governance configurations and which are covered in detail *TODO: TUTORIAL ON FEDERATED* |
