About Domains
Within the FEWS NET Data Explorer (FDE), humanitarian sector components are represented as Domains. A data domain is a grouping of data that contains a collection of data series. Domains are organized to unify and consolidate data based on metadata consistencies and sector relationships. For example, data on relief needs estimates and actual deliveries are included within the Responses domain.
