Evans re-invented many tried and proven concepts and gave them his own names which lead to much confusion. I prefer not to use his idiosyncratic terminology and stick with the established terms.

What are the established terms you prefer?

Are there any equivalences you'd like to highlight, involving other tried/proven terms everybody is likely to have heard of?

As far as I'm concerned, Evans, and Fowler (who he references in the DDD book), are the creators of the established terms. Feel free to demonstrate otherwise.

Can you expand upon this? I was recently introduced to DDD and had the same gut feeling, although am having trouble articulating exactly why. It does feel like a lot of what Evans is saying has already been said in design patterns books.

E.g. Repository. It's clearly similar to other persistence designs. OTOH, it's somehow different from plain ORMs - and it has a different name.

That doesn't feel strong enough to support the claim that Evans is repackaging established terms.

Don't be so lazy. Take any of the DDD concepts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_design) and try to find the equivalent real-wold names.
