title: DDD: What is the scope of the ubiquitous language? Is it domain or bounded context?
body: <p>One key concept in Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is the ubiquitous language. </p>
  
  <p>What is the typical scope (consistency border) of such a ubiquitous language? Is it scoped by the bounded context (e.g. a system/component in a certain domain) or by the domain itself? In bigger enterprises, different systems (i.e. bounded contexts) might implement the same domain.</p>
  
  <p><em>My assumption is that it's bound to a bounded context as consistency cannot be guaranteed across multiple bounded context (even if they belong to the same domain) but I am not sure.</em></p>
