# Domains
## Why Would You Use Domains?
Domains are curated, top-level folders or categories where related assets can be explicitly grouped. Management of Domains can be centralized, or distributed out to Domain owners Currently, an asset can belong to only one Domain at a time.
For more information about domains, refer to [About DataHub Domains](/docs/domains.md).
### Goal Of This Guide
This guide will show you how to
- Create a domain.
- Read domains attached to a dataset.
- Add a dataset to a domain
- Remove the domain from a dataset.
## Prerequisites
For this tutorial, you need to deploy DataHub Quickstart and ingest sample data.
For detailed steps, please refer to [Datahub Quickstart Guide](/docs/quickstart.md).
## Create Domain
```json
mutation createDomain {
createDomain(input: { name: "Marketing", description: "Entities related to the marketing department" })
}
```
If you see the following response, the operation was successful:
```json
{
"data": {
"createDomain": ""
},
"extensions": {}
}
```
```shell
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation createDomain { createDomain(input: { name: \"Marketing\", description: \"Entities related to the marketing department.\" }) }", "variables":{}}'
```
Expected Response:
```json
{ "data": { "createDomain": "" }, "extensions": {} }
```
```python
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/create_domain.py show_path_as_comment }}
```
### Expected Outcomes of Creating Domain
You can now see `Marketing` domain has been created under `Govern > Domains`.
### Creating a Nested Domain
You can also create a nested domain, or a domain within another domain.
```json
mutation createDomain {
createDomain(input: { name: "Verticals", description: "An optional description", parentDomain: "urn:li:domain:marketing" })
}
```
```shell
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation createDomain { createDomain(input: { name: \"Verticals\", description: \"Entities related to the verticals sub-domain.\", parentDomain: \"urn:li:domain:marketing\" }) }", "variables":{}}'
```
```python
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/create_nested_domain.py show_path_as_comment }}
```
This query will create a new domain, "Verticals", under the "Marketing" domain.
## Read Domains
```json
query {
dataset(urn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)") {
domain {
associatedUrn
domain {
urn
properties {
name
}
}
}
}
}
```
If you see the following response, the operation was successful:
```python
{
"data": {
"dataset": {
"domain": {
"associatedUrn": "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)",
"domain": {
"urn": "urn:li:domain:71b3bf7b-2e3f-4686-bfe1-93172c8c4e10",
"properties": {
"name": "Marketing"
}
}
}
}
},
"extensions": {}
}
```
```shell
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "{ dataset(urn: \"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)\") { domain { associatedUrn domain { urn properties { name } } } } }", "variables":{}}'
```
Expected Response:
```json
{
"data": {
"dataset": {
"domain": {
"associatedUrn": "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)",
"domain": {
"urn": "urn:li:domain:71b3bf7b-2e3f-4686-bfe1-93172c8c4e10",
"properties": { "name": "Marketing" }
}
}
}
},
"extensions": {}
}
```
```python
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/dataset_query_domain.py show_path_as_comment }}
```
## Add Domains
```json
mutation setDomain {
setDomain(domainUrn: "urn:li:domain:marketing", entityUrn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)")
}
```
If you see the following response, the operation was successful:
```python
{
"data": {
"setDomain": true
},
"extensions": {}
}
```
```shell
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation setDomain { setDomain(entityUrn: "urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)", domainUrn: "urn:li:domain:marketing")) }", "variables":{}}'
```
Expected Response:
```json
{ "data": { "setDomain": true }, "extensions": {} }
```
```python
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/dataset_add_domain.py show_path_as_comment }}
```
### Expected Outcomes of Adding Domain
You can now see `Marketing` domain has been added to the dataset.
## Remove Domains
```json
mutation unsetDomain {
unsetDomain(
entityUrn:"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)"
)
}
```
Expected Response:
```python
{
"data": {
"removeDomain": true
},
"extensions": {}
}
```
```shell
curl --location --request POST 'http://localhost:8080/api/graphql' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{ "query": "mutation unsetDomain { unsetDomain(entityUrn: \"urn:li:dataset:(urn:li:dataPlatform:hive,fct_users_created,PROD)\") }", "variables":{}}'
```
```python
{{ inline /metadata-ingestion/examples/library/dataset_remove_domain_execute_graphql.py show_path_as_comment }}
```
### Expected Outcomes of Removing Domain
You can now see a domain `Marketing` has been removed from the `fct_users_created` dataset.
