In the lecture we suggested to use genus–differentia definitions1). To understand this format deeper, we want to apply it on the definitions of the glossary of the DDD book. The glossary is available online at dddcommunity.org or at Google Books.
Find two of the entries of the glossary that are genus–differentia definitions and analyze them with respect to the following questions:
Example for the entry ''core domain''
Side note: The primary goal of a glossary is to offer a reference for the most important terms used in a certain context. The main criterion is whether everyone involved in the context can agree on what a term means based on the glossary entry. Our suggestion to use “genus-differentia definitions” is only a means to that goal. You might have a look at some and ask yourself, whether you understand them and whether you see a chance to improve them.

The fictive service “YourPurse” offers customers to manage their payments on-line. Because of recent security incidents they are taking counter measures like calculating abuse indicators for the accounts.
One sentence from their requirements reads as follows:
“Once abuse indicators are higher, accounts may not be viewed anymore.”
a) Demonstrate how to identify implicit assumptions (presuppositions) using this sentence.
b) Demonstrate in detail, how to apply rules of the REgelwerk. Find two rules that apply to this sentence. For each of these two rules answer the following questions:

Here are some preliminary requirements for a Time Tracking Application:
You should roughly understand what the Time Tracking Application is meant to be. Nevertheless, there are many issues with these requirements.
Give us eight issues of at least three different types. The first row of the table gives you one example.

Sentence | Clue on the language level pointing to a problem? What is the problem? | What could you ask to clarify the requirement? |
---|---|---|
(03) | “a” Extension of the requirement not explicit. (Generalization: Substantives without a reference, R15: Only use indefinite articles in definitions) | To whom does this requirement apply? To all workers? |

A03_T18_Airports
in your repository.
We are creating a passenger flight information system following the Modeling in Color approach. You can find the first nine classes of the domain object model here:
Class Diagram for the Passenger Flight Information System
a) Add to each of the nine classes an appropriate archetype and explain your choice. It is enough to explain it for one class of every color (1-2 sentences each).
b) Add multiplicities to the associations.
c) Some of the classes of this model can be reused in different applications. Besides the Passenger Flight Information System we are developing as well a Cargo Flight Information System and an Airport Shop Administration System. Find the corresponding layered package structure here:

package. flights

package.
d) Your colleague argues that a pilot and a passenger is a person and therefore Pilot
as well as Passenger
should be a subclasses of Person
. Do you agree? Explain why you agree or disagree. (2-3 sentences)

A03_T19_Hotels
in your repository.
Below you find a new domain model created by your colleague.
He already expressed that Reservation
, Renting
, Invoice
,
and Payment
take place at separate moments or time intervals.
Class diagram for a hotel domain
a) Add the appropriate archetypes to the classes Person
and Room
. If later on required you may add further classes with appropriate archetype.
b) It should be possible that the person who reserves rooms and receives the invoice is different from the persons who actually stay there. Express this in the model by adding appropriate classes and associations.
c) Till now only the Invoice
has details, but it makes sense for almost all other moment-interval
classes: Add the missing mi-detail
classes. Review your model and add missing classes and associations.
d) Sometimes a request for reservation occurs even before the reservation. Add a class WaitingReservationRequest
with the appropriate archetype and the associations.
e) Add the missing multiplicities to the associations.
f) Review another class diagram of the hotel domain:
The following class diagram for a hotel domain was created by another colleague.
Rejected class diagram for a hotel domain
It was not used because someone had the feeling that it is not correct. Can you support this gut feeling with some arguments? We suggest that you apply the archetypes to the classes and argue based on these. (3-5 sentences)
