Local Domains You can create your own domains, called local domains, which you can use as partitions or name spaces, as described above. Local domains can be completely self-contained, that is, the occurrences contained in them can have their own attribute values. Instead of the occurrences in each domain having their own unique set of attribute values, which takes up more space and can make a dictionary "non-standard", System Dictionary allows occurrences in local domains to share attribute values with occurrences in the common domain. This saves space and creates a more standard dictionary, which is also easier to maintain. Sharing attribute values is discussed further on in this chapter.
