We briefly review WordNet and identify its main semantic limitations. Some principles from a forthcoming OntoClean methodology are applied to the ontological analysis of WordNet. A revised top-level taxonomy is proposed, which is meant to be more conceptually rigorous, cognitively transparent, and efficiently exploitable in several applications.12 pages, 2 figures, 2 tables, submitted to FOIS 2001Computation and LanguageInformation RetrievalH3.1text
