OOSE - Week 05 - Domain Model

This document discusses domain modeling and provides guidance on creating domain models. It defines a domain model as a representation of real-world concepts, not software components. A domain model illustrates meaningful conceptual classes in a problem domain and can show concepts, associations between concepts, and attributes of concepts. The document recommends using class diagrams with no operations defined to visually depict a domain model. It also notes that a domain model describes things in the real world, not the software design. The steps provided to create a domain model include identifying conceptual classes, drawing them in a class diagram, adding necessary associations and attributes, and applying existing analysis patterns. Examples of domain models for a Monopoly game and a point-of-sale system are also included.
