Franklin Consulting What is a domain  A sphere of activity, concern, or function which exists in a social/ geographical/ economic/ political context. A system may be defined as a collection of components organized to accomplish a specific function or set of functions and always exists in a context, its external environment from which it is bounded Dexter et al.

Franklin Consulting Some problems  People cannot agree on a definition  People cannot agree on the boundaries of a domain  People want a domain model for different purposes  People cannot agree on the definitions of elements within it
