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_execute_graphql.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.
