- Software systems embed in them knowledge about the
domain in which they operate. However, this knowledge
is 'latent'. Making such knowledge accessible could be
of great value to the organization both as a source of
explicit knowledge and to systems development and
maintenance. We propose a framework aimed at making
domain knowledge embedded in software explicit. The
framework is based on identifying domain knowledge
acquired during the development process (especially in
requirements analysis) and formalizing it. The software
architecture is then partitioned into two parts: one
represents the domain knowledge and the other
responsible for the actual processing (using this
knowledge). A specific object-oriented design approach is
suggested to accomplish this partitioning.
