This paper outlines the main features of the DD framework, an extensible ontological and methodological approach to the description of real-world application domains.It promotes automatic reasoning and a concept-oriented domain knowledge representation in computer-based systems engineering. The DD framework is centered around EDDL_dp, a formal but user-friendly language allowing automatic consistency check and property deduction. EDDL_dp deals with the external outlook of real-world structural and behavioral domain concepts.It offers an expressively adequate set of data, process and object-like concept constructors for a flexible description of the essential domain model of a computer-based system.The DD framework has been explicitly conceived for the development of a new generation of computer-based systems engineering tools endowed with deductive capabilities.
