The "domain model" as you put it, is roughly equivalent to a
vocabulary with an associated set of semantics. So long as you agree
on the terms, you can communicate, and that is the whole point.
The terms *intrinsically* do *not* have any meaning. Only in the
context of the interpreter dot hey have meaning, and only if the
knowledge is shared and agreed upon will useful communication occur.
