How is ApplicationEvent different from DomainEvent?

In the DDD Sample, Cargo Tracking application, there are "ApplicationEvents" and DomainEvents.

ApplicationEvents examples: "cargoHasArrived", "cargoWasMishandled"

DomainEvent example: "HandlingEvent.LOAD", "HandlingEvent.RECEIVE", "HandlingEvent.UNLOAD",etc.

How are application and domain events supposed to be different semantically and what are some guidelines you use to determine if it goes in ApplicationEvent or DomainEvent?

Application Events are characteristic to the specific Use Case/User Story. They model application (not domain) behavior.

Technically Domain Events are the same. Difference is on the mental level - Domain Events model facts that takes place in domain model.
