Notation issue

Can anyone please tell me what this notation means in LDAP ( Light Weight Directory Protocol ) ?

dn: ou=newgroup,dc=example,dc=com

Example

DN = distinguished name
OU= organizational unit

DC = ?

What DC means ?

I understand this is not a LDAP forum . Will appreciate if any one have any idea of this notation .

It stands for Domain Component.

okay…I see that example now…very nice.

But how come there could be multiple DC in a LDAP search … domain should be only one …right?

example is using DC=gp,DC=gl,DC=google,DC=com

Is it possible there could be multiple domain components in an organization …I dont understand this part.
