	Abstract = {Over the last decade, the world has entered into the age of ``big data'' and new and updated ways to represent and reason on enormous amounts of data are demanded and expected. Work in developing ontologies and sophisticated reasoning approaches have taken steps towards addressing these needs. However, the current state-of-the-art often considers ontology development as more of an art rather than an engineering activity. Fundamental questions and concerns of ontology design are often overlooked by developers and an ad hoc ``one-time use'' mentality has emerged in the area of ontology engineering. Consequently, the resulting ontologies are usually difficult to modify, extend, and reuse. To address this lack of design consideration in the ontology development life-cycle, we propose an ontology design architecture based on a variant of the model-view-controller (MVC-II) architectural style in an effort to present a new view of designing and developing ontologies from an engineering perspective. The proposed architecture provides a step towards an ontology design framework that can supplement existing ontology development methodologies. We seek a clear separation of concerns, as well as a number of desirable qualities such as modifiability, extendability, and reusability.},
