Domain knowledge is knowledge of a specific discipline or field in contrast to general (or domain-independent) knowledge.[1] The term is often used in reference to a more general discipline—for example, in describing a software engineer who has general knowledge of computer programming as well as domain knowledge about developing programs for a particular industry.[citation needed] People with domain knowledge are often regarded as specialists or experts in their field.[2]
