Note: Accelerators and experiments "speak" english since they are operated by international staff, whereas the infrastructure operated by local staff traditionally "speaks" german. (This document uses italics for german words)

Domain (4 characters)
Domain is a functional region with slightly different structure depending on the kingdom:

Device [- Component] (max. 12 characters including the dash), [ ] = optional
Since different systems have different topologies, the 3rd and 4th field of the name string have different meanings as indicated in the syntax definition above.
