Using Purview Data Domains
I would like to categorize data available in our Data Estate by our internally defined data classification system (aka Subject Areas as the highest level of our Enterprise Data Model). I understand we are directed by MS to define Data Domains in the Data Fabric (via the Power BI Admin portal). Ok fine...I defined an "Asset Data Domain", "Finance Data Domain", "Supply Chain Data Domain" etc.
The only way I found to assign data to these data domains is by an entire Power BI Workspace. This is odd to me. Virtually every Power BI Workspace / analytics app we have will draw data from multiple Data Domains ... in fact that is the point of integrating data for Analysis in the first place!
There must be a way to categorize our curated data assets stored in Azure Blog Storage / Azure Databricks in the Purview Data Catalogue. Our objective is to consolidate metadata that describes our currated data assets to Purview for our self service and analytics project team to find the curated data assets they require.
Thanks in advance for any pointers to documentation for building up or Data Catalogue / Data Map in Purview.

Yes there is: Purview Data Map "Metamodel" https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/concept-metamodel
One of the pre-defined "Asset Types" in this metamodel is "Data Domain", as listed here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/purview/how-to-metamodel#predefined-asset-types
No idea how something created using this feature as an individual Data Map "Data Domain" could then be linked to a Fabric "Data Domain".- Thanks ZGabTanase for the reply.
Your last comment is precisely the reason for my rant above. We assumed Data Domains defined in Fabric and / or Purview Data Catalog would be linked / the same domains otherwise the feature is rather useless.
I'm assuming this is on a roadmap somewhere and will eventually be delivered.
Thanks again for the post.
