Domain Analysis Model • A Domain Analysis Model (DAM) is a structured way to describe and docu-ment the information requirements of a particular area of interest (or domain). • It describes the business terms (con-cepts), their characteristics (attributes) and relations.
<<implements>> Analysis vs. Implementation ANALYSIS WHAT to represent • Defines the concepts and the relations of a given domain • Creates an unambiguous terminology to describe the domain • Abstracts away from any implementation issues IMPLEMENTATION HOW to represent • Defines how the concepts are represented on the physical level • Needs to consider constraints of the chosen technology • There may be many different implementation models for one analysis model (typically one per technology) • Depending on its purpose the concepts may not be represented completely
WHY? • Communication • Communication between humans • Communication between machines
