Domain elements

A domain element is any non requirement workspace object that can be connected to a requirement using a link.

When you can connect a domain element to a requirement with a link, the domain element (a UML class, for example) does not represent the requirement itself, which is stored in the project database.

For example, a UML use case is considered a domain element because you can create a link from the use case to a requirement stored in a RequisitePro project database. Other examples of domain elements are files, folders, and projects that appear in the Navigator view or any UML model element that appears in the Model Explorer view.

You can create links from Rational RequisitePro requirements to domain elements in domains outside of RequisitePro. Each requirement can only be linked to one domain element.
