ddd bounded context example using a insurance policy

[sudarshan]

Hi All,

I had read a article talking about bounded contexts and it used a insurance policy as its example.

Saying that the policy looks very different when it is at the new business stage and when it is at the claims stage.

So each BC new business, claims has a very different view of the same thing (policy).

I seem to have lost the link, is any one aware of this one ?, or can some one cook up a more detailed example on the same lines ?

I want to present it to guys in my office.

I have one such example based on the book publishing domain. PFA that example. I need something based on the insurance domain.

Thanks

I use that example regularly is there a specific question you have about it?

I found that example very useful in understanding about bounded contexts , and the fact that a single term (entity) can have different perspectives depending on the context it is being used in .... Its like a light bulb moment, and the example fully emphasized that point.

I want to reproduce it and want to share it with my colleagues at work, cannot quite find it now, and hence the request

I especially liked the bits where you spoke about certain attributes within the policy class being used in say new business but being of no use in policy administration ...

Thanks

I have not had much luck in looking for the video i did find a 6.5 hr video here  http://cqrs.wordpress.com/video/ 

The tags do not mention this particular example, any hints at where/how i could find it.

Did look for things like ddd day bolonga and so on ...
