French term or phrase: domaine de définition

Voici le contexte:
Le gabarit d’AC définit l’ensemble des champs présents dans le certificat, que ce soit les champs obligatoires ou les champs facultatifs. Pour chaque champ, le gabarit définit le domaine de définition des valeurs de ce champ.

Et voici une explication du terme:
Le domaine de définition est un terme métier technique qui désigne l’ensemble des règles qui sont définies pour qu’une valeur saisie dans un champ soit validée. Par exemple, certains champs texte permettent de saisir une valeur. Toutefois, certains caractères (espace, caractères spéciaux) peuvent ne pas être acceptés. Le domaine de définition permet de définir les règles d’acceptation ou d’exclusion de ces valeurs.

Any idea(s) on how to translate this term?
Many thanks.

data domain

Explanation:
IMO

Here's the first line of the Wiki:
In data management and database analysis, a data domain refers to all the unique values which a data element may contain. The rule for determining the domain boundary may be as simple as a data type with an enumerated list of values.

On second thought, I might say the domain of the data.

Thank you cc in nyc. This definitely seemed to fit. I simply put "domain", as there was enough context to imply we're talking about data. Your "second thought" confirmed this.
