Hey there, everyone. I had some questions about the current (and intended?) implementation of Nested Domains. Looking for potential guidance and/or help understanding how this feature might look once fully released. Questions in ๐Ÿงต to preserve chat real estate. Thanks!
1. In the current demo version, it appears that nested domains are a straight hierarchy of parent/children. Datasets can be assigned to a child domain, however they do not appear to "roll up" to the parent. Using the nested domain example illustrated below, I can assign Dataset A as an entity in Child Domain A, and Dataset B as an entity in Child Domain B, but Parent Domain 1 does not contain any entities. Is that intended to only show entities at the lowest level of the hierarchy?
Copy code
Parent Domain 1
|--- Child Domain A
|    |--- Dataset A
|
|--- Child Domain B
|    |--- Dataset B
2. With a parent/child implementation, is it possible to assign a domain to an entity outside of the parent's domain? For example, as illustrated below, is it intended to allow Dataset A to be an entity within both Parent Domain 1 and Parent Domain 2 (or Child Domain A and Child Domain B depending on the answer to the above question)?
Copy code
Parent Domain 1
|--- Child Domain A
|    |--- Dataset A

Parent Domain 2
|--- Child Domain B
|    |--- Dataset B
3. Similar to the above, will it be possible for an entity to have multiple domains? In our implementation we are looking to use domains as "slicers" for our data lake. One domain will be the "vertical slice" (e.g. a specific organization feeding data into the lake) and the other domain will be the "horizontal slice" (e.g. a business unit within the organization, like Accounting or Finance). We are currently using a combination of Domains and Tags for the slicing but thinking that domains would be a better implementation (e.g. "show me all Finance data across all organizations in the data lake" or "show me all data for this specific organization") Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
Friendly bump on this thread for visibility. Thanks! ๐Ÿ™‚
