this is not the type of hierarchy I was talking about. Attribute 
hierarchies are object oriented hierarchies in which subtypes inherit 
all the properties of the supertypes. So for example, the surname 
attribute type is a subtype of the name attribute type.

What you are talking about is a containment hierarchy, in which domains 
contain projects, and projects contain users. A Venn diagram can be used 
to nicely depict the containment hierarchy.
