Domain expert

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A domain expert or subject matter expert is a person with special knowledge or skills in a particular area of endeavor. An accountant is an expert in the domain of accountancy, for example. The development of accounting software requires knowledge in two different domains, namely accounting and software. Some of the development workers may be experts in one domain and not the other. The term domain expert is frequently used in expert systems software development, and there the term always refers to the domain other than the software domain.
