Adding Validation to Domain-Specific Language Solutions

As the author of a domain-specific language, you can add constraints to your domain models to check for semantic correctness beyond what you can express in the syntax of that language. Users of your domain-specific languages can run validation on the models that they create from those languages and see the results.
