DDD - Ubiquitous Language

[#vaughn-ddddis], on 2nd chapter:

Ubiquitous Language is all about having unambiguous and precise naming for entities within a 202105192148 DDD - Bounded Contexts. When we think about language in development, we focus on nouns, but it's important that we encompass language as a whole:

• Entities should be mapped to specific nouns
• Actions should consistently use the same verbs
• Variations should use precise adjectives
• etc etc

For instance, in a todo list app:

user can create lists and add tasks to them. Each task can have a single assignee and this assignee should be able to archive, complete or assign this task to another user.

The author suggests 202105192209 DDD - Event Storming as a good way to discover candidates for our vocab.
