  The upcoming technology support for semantic web promises fresh directions
for Software Engineering community. Also semantic web has its roots in
knowledge engineering that provoke software engineers to look for application
of ontology applications throughout the Software Engineering life cycle. The
internal components of a semantic web are light weight and may be of less
quality standards than the externally visible modules. In fact the internal
components are generated from external (ontological) component. That is the
reason agile development approaches such as feature driven development are
suitable for applications internal component development. As yet there is no
particular procedure that describes the role of ontology in the processes.
Therefore we propose an ontology based feature driven development for semantic
web application that can be used form application model development to feature
design and implementation. Features are precisely defined in the OWL-based
domain model. Transition from OWL based domain model to feature list is
directly defined in transformation rules. On the other hand the ontology based
overall model can be easily validated through automated tools. Advantages of
ontology-based feature Driven development are also discussed.
