Abstract
Identifying existing domains of reality is a basic task for knowledge organization. Intuitively, phenomena occurring in each class are more causally homogeneous than those in other classes. Domain theory can be built on both the theory of levels of reality and the theory of wholes. As a discussion example, the domain of biology is analyzed, and core entities and facets of it are identified.
