The Domain-Driven Design Metamodel

Is there a metamodel behind domain-driven design? Is it possible to blend a complex external DSL and the concepts of domain-driven design patterns to produce a tool to rapidly implement advanced domain models that strictly adhere to Eric Evans' DDD pattern language? Absolutely, and Vaughn demonstrates how this has been achieved and why the repeatable method is important to you.

Follow along with this presentation to find out how you can design a complex external DSL to realize advanced application code generation that produces error free results. Using the patterns of domain-driven design as his requirements, Vaughn shows you how a DDD-based language model and metamodel are developed. Then when the DDD-based language source code is parsed and translated, see the resulting flawless code and configuration of a Bounded Context's core domain model appear. Use similar techniques to accomplish far-reaching goals of problem domain abstraction and zero-defect component generation. Unless you have in-depth knowledge of domain-driven design and complex external DSLs, it would be helpful to attend Vaughn's previous two presentations.
