Abstract
In this paper we discuss what kind of information can be obtained from Word Net and what kind of information should be added to Word Net in order to make it better suitable for the support of the Color-X method. We will present an extension of Word Net (called Word Net++) which contains a number of special types of relationships that are not available in Word Net. Additionally, Word Net++ is instantiated with knowledge about some particular domain.
Conceptual Linguistically based Object-oriented Representation Language for Information and Communication Systems (Ics is abbreviated to X).
