In this paper we propose an approach to software development that focuses on architecture decisions and involves the use of ontology. In this approach the architecture is captured by an instance of an ontology. The ontology has four major components: architecture assets, architecture decisions, stakeholder concerns, and an architecture roadmap. We illustrate our approach through a case study involving a real-time credit-approval system and the use of Protege, an open-source ontology development tool.
