普通名词的定义通常给出一个上位术语和区别特征;这些信息为在WordNet中组织名词文件提供了基础。上位关系（上下义关系）生成一个层次语义组织，通过使用同义词（同义词集）之间的标记指针在名词文件中复制。等级制度的深度有限，很少超过十几级。区别特征的输入方式是为了创建一个词汇继承系统，在这个系统中，每个词都继承了其所有上级词的区别特征。三种类型的区别特征进行了讨论：属性（修改），部分（meronymy），和功能（predication），但只有meronymy目前实现的名词文件。名词之间也存在反义关系，但它不是名词的基本组织原则。覆盖范围被划分为25个主题文件，每个主题文件处理不同的原始语义成分。每个主题的特点进行了讨论。
Definitions of common nouns typically give a superordinate term plus distinguishing features; that information provides the basis for organizing noun files in WordNet. The superordinate relation (hyponymy) generates a hierarchical semantic organization that is duplicated in the noun files by the use of labeled pointers between sets of synonyms (synsets). The hierarchy is limited in depth, seldom exceeding more than a dozen levels. Distinguishing features are entered in such a way as to create a lexical inheritance system, a system in which each word inherits the distinguishing features of all its superordinates. Three types of distinguishing features are discussed: attributes (modification), parts (meronymy), and functions (predication), but only meronymy is presently implemented in the noun files. Antonymy is also found between nouns, but it is not a fundamental organizing principle for nouns.Coverage is partitioned into twenty-five topical files, each of which deals with a different primitive semantic component. Characteristics of each topic are discussed.
