The Domesday book was useful to WIlliam the Conqueror because it was a way to know what land and goods were owned, and so he could assess taxes on all of it.
The Domesday book is useful today because it is the most accurate portrait of land and economy in that area that we have of that time, so it is useful to historians and economists looking back at how things were done.
