Abstract
Domain model is the first model in the scope of interests of software developers. Its creation, especially for complex domain, can be very costly and time consuming, as it extensively involves domain experts. On the other side, domain knowledge could be included in existing ontologies, and can be extracted, with the support of domain experts, from them. That way of knowledge extraction should lead to better model quality, preventing from misunderstandings between business analysts and domain experts. The paper presents an approach to business model development on the base of SUMO ontologies. The approach is explained with the use of simple, but real example. The results are promising. Domain models, created using this approach, could be perceived as valuable input for further development.
