example, the computer foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk is in the
doc.ic.ac.uk domain, which is in the ic.ac.uk domain, which is
in the ac.uk domain, which is in the uk top-level domain.
A domain name can contain up to 67 characters including the

DOMAIN
(bouvier) | DOMAIN. It signifies sometimes, dominion, territory governed - sometimes,
possession, estate - and sometimes, land about the mansion house of a lord.
By domain is also understood the right to dispose at our pleasure of what
belongs to us.
2. A distinction, has been made between property and domain. The former
is said to be that quality which is conceived to be in the thing itself,
considered as belonging to such or such person, exclusively of all others.
By the latter is understood that right which the owner has of disposing of
the thing. Hence domain and property are said to be correlative terms; the
one is the active right to dispose, the other a passive quality which
follows the thing, and places it at the disposition of the owner. 3 Toull.
n. 8 3. But this distinction is too subtle for practical use. Puff. Droit de
la Nature et des Gens, loi 4, c. 4, Sec. 2. Vide 1 B1. Com. 105, 106; 1

classless inter-domain routing
(foldoc) | Classless Inter-Domain Routing
CIDR
(CIDR) /sid*r/ A technique that summarises a
block of Internet addresses in a routing table as an
address in dotted decimal notation followed by a {forward
slash} and a two-digit decimal number giving the number of
leading one bits in the subnet mask. For example,
123.123.123.0/24 specifies a subnet mask of
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 (binary), implying the
block of addresses 123.123.123.0 through 123.123.123.255.
CIDR is "classless" because it is not limited to the subnet
masks specified by Internet address classes A, B and C.
According to RFC 1519, CIDR was implemented to distribute
Internet address space more efficiently and to provide a
mechanism for IP route aggregation. This in turn reduces
the number of entries in IP routing tables, enabling faster,
more efficient routing, e.g. using routing protocols such
as OSPF. CIDR is supported by BGP4.

example, the computer foldoc.doc.ic.ac.uk is in the
doc.ic.ac.uk domain, which is in the ic.ac.uk domain, which is
in the ac.uk domain, which is in the uk top-level domain.
A domain name can contain up to 67 characters including the
dots that separate components. These can be letters, numbers
and hyphens.

domain driven design
(foldoc) | domain driven design
A software design discipline that says that:
* Software design for a complex domain requires expert understanding
of the domain.
* Understanding depends on a shared, agreed and unambiguous language.
* Understanding is expressed in a shared model of the problem space
that faithfully captures the essential complexity of the domain.
* A complex domain must be separated into "Bounded Contexts".
* The model and language should evolve with the current understanding
of the domain.

information and refers to that copy for each additional domain
registered by the same person. The information would include
basic contact details: name, e-mail address, etc. and billing
information. Some of this information would be used to
populate the whois database entry for a domain.

domain name

domain name
FQDN
(FQDN) The full name of a system, consisting of
its local hostname and its domain name, including a
top-level domain (tld). For example, "venera" is a hostname
and "venera.isi.edu" is an FQDN. An FQDN should be sufficient
to determine a unique Internet address for any host on the
Internet. This process, called "name resolution", uses the
Domain Name System (DNS).
With the explosion of interest in the Internet following the
advent of the web, domain names (especially the
most significant two components, e.g. "sun.com", and
especially in the ".com" tld) have become a valuable part of
many companies' "brand". The allocation of these, overseen by
ICANN, has therefore become highly political and is
performed by a number of different registrars. There are
different registries for the different tlds.
A final dot on the end of a FQDN can be used to tell the DNS
that the name is fully qualified and so needs no extra
suffixes added, but it is not required.

name service switching
(DNS) A general-purpose distributed, replicated,
data query service chiefly used on Internet for translating
hostnames into Internet addresses. Also, the style of
hostname used on the Internet, though such a name is
properly called a fully qualified domain name. DNS can be
configured to use a sequence of name servers, based on the
domains in the name being looked for, until a match is found.
The name resolution client (e.g. Unix's gethostbyname()
library function) can be configured to search for host
information in the following order: first in the local {hosts
file}, second in NIS and third in DNS. This sequencing of
Naming Services is sometimes called "name service switching".
Under Solaris is configured in the file /etc/nsswitch.conf.
DNS can be queried interactively using the command nslookup.
It is defined in STD 13, RFC 1034, RFC 1035, RFC 1591.
BIND is a common DNS server.

domain theory
(foldoc) | domain theory
A branch of mathematics introduced by Dana Scott in
1970 as a mathematical theory of programming languages, and
for nearly a quarter of a century developed almost exclusively
in connection with denotational semantics in computer
science.
In denotational semantics of programming languages, the
meaning of a program is taken to be an element of a domain. A
domain is a mathematical structure consisting of a set of
values (or "points") and an ordering relation, Y which is the set of
functions from domain X to domain Y with the ordering f D. The
equivalent equation has no non-trivial solution in {set
theory}.
There are many definitions of domains, with different
properties and suitable for different purposes. One commonly
used definition is that of Scott domains, often simply called
domains, which are omega-algebraic, consistently complete
CPOs.
There are domain-theoretic computational models in other
branches of mathematics including dynamical systems,
fractals, measure theory, integration theory,
probability theory, and stochastic processes.

domain}.

the subdomain called thyrsus within the top-level domain
called com. See also big-endian.
2. Said of a site, mailer or routing program which knows how
to handle domainist addresses.
3. Said of a person (especially a site admin) who prefers
domain addressing, supports a domainist mailer, or
proselytises for domainist addressing and disdains {bang
paths}. This term is now (1993) semi-obsolete, as most sites
have converted.

lifted domain
(foldoc) | lifted domain
In domain theory, a domain with a new bottom
element added. Given a domain D, the lifted domain, lift D
contains an element lift d corresponding to each element d in
D with the same ordering as in D and a new element bottom
which is less than every other element in lift D.
In functional languages, a lifted domain can be used to
model a constructed type, e.g. the type
data LiftedInt = K Int
contains the values K minint .. K maxint and K bottom,
corresponding to the values in Int, and a new value bottom.
This denotes the fact that when computing a value v = (K n)
the computation of either n or v may fail to terminate
yielding the values (K bottom) or bottom respectively.
(In LaTeX, a lifted domain or element is indicated by a
subscript \perp).

top-level domain

TLD
The last and most significant component of an
Internet fully qualified domain name, the part after the
last ".". For example, host wombat.doc.ic.ac.uk is in
top-level domain "uk" (for United Kingdom).
Every other country has its own top-level domain, including
".us" for the U.S.A. Within the .us domain, there are
subdomains for the fifty states, each generally with a name
identical to the state's postal abbreviation. These are
rarely used however. Within the .uk domain, there is a .ac.uk
subdomain for academic sites and a .co.uk domain for
commercial ones. Other top-level domains may be divided up in
similar ways.
In the US and some other countries, the following top-level
domains are used much more widely than the country code:
.com - commercial bodies
.edu - educational institutions
.gov - U. S. government
.mil - U. S. armed services
.net - network operators
.org - other organisations
Since the rapid commercialisation of the Internet in the 1990s
the ".com" domain has become particularly heavily populated
with every company trying to register its company name as a
subdomain of .com, e.g. "netscape.com" so as to make it easy
for customers to guess or remember the URL of the comany's
home page.
United Nations entities use the domain names of the countries
where they are located. The UN headquarters facility in New
York City, for example, is un.org.
Several new top-level domains are about to be added (Oct
1997):
.nom - individual people
.rec - recreational organisations
.firm - businesses such as law, accounting, engineering
.store - commercial retail companies
.ent - entertainment facilities and organisations

vanity domain
(foldoc) | vanity domain
A domain you register for the sole purpose of
having your own domain so you can have an easily remembered
URL and e-mail address. The domain is usually served
(often vhosted) off someone else's machines.
This is as opposed to a domain you register because you have
machines of your own which are already on the Internet and
which you want to make addressable via something other than
dot addresses.
Whereas vanity domains were almost unheard-of in 1980s, since
the invention and popularisation of the Web in the mid-1990s
and the desire for URLs which consist only of memorable
domain names (e.g., "http://pbs.org") for everything from
movies to car wax, vanity domains have come to be the rule
instead of the exception.
