Abstract
We propose a Business Object Architecture (BOA) developed under the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM) life-cycle environment to form a Dynamic Business Object Architecture (DBOA) aiming to narrow the semantic gap between software developments and business applications. The structure and process of DBOA are explained through the development work documented in this paper. An insurance industrial project was used as a case study to demonstrate the initial result of this approach.
