Abstract: Method of domain models designing is proposed in this paper. Domain models are represented as class diagrams. Initial information for domain models designing contains both analytical representation of domain data streams and domain entities. Domain data streams are defined using collaboration diagram. Analytical representation of domain data streams as a subset of Cartesian product of the following sets: objects and messages are proposed. Also an approach of decomposition collaboration diagram into fragments for defining data streams is represented. Rules of defining relations between classes of domain model by means of analysis both analytical and graphical representation of domain data streams are formulated. Both description of domain entities and interconnections between them are represented in terms of algebra describing software static models. Proposed method involves an iterative approach for domain model designing. Firstly it is necessary to obtain information about class diagram constituents. Then information about methods of classes is complimented using analytical representation of domain data streams. Using both analytical representation of domain data streams and analytical description of entities relations between class diagram constituents are defined and clarified. An example of designing domain model for domain “designing cutting schemas for leather goods details” is represented. Also information about interconnections of domain entities and domain processes is represented.
