Abstract In this paper we propose an analysis and a rearrangement of WordNet's top-level taxonomy of nouns. We briefly review Word-Net and identify its main semantic limitations, in the light of the ontology evaluation principles lying at the core of the Onto-Clean methodology. Then we briefly present a first version of the OntoClean Top (OCT) ontology, and show how WordNet can be aligned with it. The result is a "cleaned-up" WordNet, which is meant to be conceptually more rigorous, cognitively transparent, and efficiently ...
