Bounded Contexts vs Domain Models

#1

Firstly, I sort of do understand a Domain Model conceptually, however I am struggling as to how a Bounded Context is any different. From the diagrams, it does seem that Bounded Contexts are more generic (as Domain Models are comprised within them)

Moreover, I’d like to understand the relationship between Domain Models and Bounded Contexts (any examples on the 1:Many aspect would be great e.g: A Bounded Context consisting of multiple domain models, or a domain model within multiple bounded contexts)

Simply said, a bounded context is the area of a domain where a specific domain model is applicable, the bounded context contains a domain model that represents a particular subdomain of the larger application, and the domain model is the model that implements the solution to the problem. Each domain model is valid in a bounded context.
