Abstract
We present different constructions of abstract boundaries for bounded complete (Kobayashi) hyperbolic domains in ℂd, d ≥ 1. These constructions essentially come from the geometric theory of metric spaces. We also present, as an application, some extension results concerning biholomorphic maps.
