Thanks to everyone who gave me suggestions when I was looking for a word to
use in the informational level between "product" and "module". I know I
didn't give you much information to work from, and you all aided my failing
vocabulary.
For the curious, here's a list of the words suggested:
Operational
User (x2)
Component (x2)
Reference
System (x2)
Operations
Structural
Applications
Conceptual Level
Feature Level
Functional Area
Subject Area
For the truly curious, the one I had to end up using was "Functional Area"
("Operational Area" was a close second), although I'm hoping that for the
next release I can reorganize the terminology and avoid this hassle.
