The patterns and practices of Domain-Driven design are very similar to creating an ontology. Ontologies deal with the nature of being. Domain-Driven Design in a way deals with the question “what does it mean to be a part of this domain?”.

This session compares and contrasts Domain-Driven Design and ontologies. It then answers, “How can taking an ontological view of a domain help in successfully gathering accurate needs and expectations of stakeholders to design a system with the domain in mind?” This session also discusses how to translate the information gathered from answering these questions into strategic plans, such as designs and architecture.

How being successful with ontological with domain-driven design, such as tactics and measure will also be covered.
