10.4. Domain Modeling Guidelines
How to Make a Domain Model
Apply the following steps to create a domain model:
1. | List the candidate conceptual classes using the Conceptual Class Category List and noun phrase identification techniques related to the current requirements under consideration. | 2. | Draw them in a domain model. | 3. | Add the associations necessary to record relationships for which there is a need to preserve some memory (discussed in a subsequent chapter). | 4. | Add the attributes necessary to fulfill the information requirements (discussed in a subsequent chapter). |
|
An adjunct useful method is to learn and copy analysis patterns, which are discussed in a later chapter.
