ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Domain analysis

Imagine that the internet is a big toy store. When you want to buy something from the toy store, you need to find the right aisle where the toys are kept. Domain analysis is like figuring out which aisle to go to in the toy store.

But instead of toys, we are talking about information on a website. Every website has different types of information and ways of organizing it. Domain analysis helps us understand what kind of information we can find on a website and how it's organized.

For example, if we want to find information about animals, we might go to a website like National Geographic. Domain analysis would help us figure out where on the website we can find information about different types of animals, like lions, elephants, and chimpanzees.

This process involves analyzing the website's structure, content, and audience. We look at the website's pages, headings, categories, and tags to see what topics are covered. We also consider who the website is intended for, such as children or adults, and what their interests might be.

All of this information helps us navigate the website and find the information we need. So just like finding the right aisle for the toys, domain analysis helps us find the right pages and sections on a website to get the information we are looking for.
