Designing with Modules

In a DDD context, Modules in your model serve as named containers for domain object classes that are highly cohesive with one another. The goal should be low coupling between the classes that are in different Modules. Since Modules as used in DDD are not bland or generic storage compartments, it is also important to properly name the Modules. Their names are an important facet of the Ubiquitous Language.

Choose Modules that tell the story of the system and contain a cohesive set of concepts. This often yields low coupling among Modules, but if it doesn’t, look for a way to change the model to disentangle the concepts. . . . Give Modules names that become part of the Ubiquitous Language. Modules and their names should reflect ...
