 ## Intent
-Introduce a common handler for all requests for a web site. This
+Introduce how to create objects which follow value semantics rather than reference semantics.
 way we can encapsulate common functionality such as security,

+## Intent
+Provide objects which follow value semantics rather than reference semantics.
+This means value objects' equality are not based on identity. Two value objects are
+equal when they have the same value, not necessarily being the same object.
+
+![alt text](./etc/value-object.png "Value Object")
+
+## Applicability
+Use the Value Object when
+
+* you need to measure the objects' equality based on the objects' value
+
+## Real world examples
+
+* [java.util.Date](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/Date.html)
+* [joda-time, money, beans](http://www.joda.org/)
+* [JSR-310 / ThreeTen project LocalDate](http://www.threeten.org/articles/local-date.html)
