What is the difference between an MVC Model object, a domain object and a DTO

Question

What is the difference between a MVC Model object, a domain object and a DTO?

My understanding is:

MVC Model object:

Models the data

Answer 1

Domain and model objects are essentially the same, and may contain business logic. Depending on implementation, domain and DTO objects may be equivalent if you remove business logic from the model into a service class.

Often a key variant of the DTO is the View Model, which is used purely to transfer data between the domain model and the view, although often a View Model may contain logic, although this should be purely UI logic.
