A Semantic Hierarchy of Korean Nouns(SHKN) where Korean nouns are semantically and hierarchically classified is one of the most important things that can provide semantic information concerned with processing the Korean sentences. In this paper. SHKN is constructed in bottom-up method by making use of the definition of a noun in the Korean dictionary. SHKN constructed in this paper is a forest which consist of 43 trees and 2.443 non-terminal nodes and 10.347 terminal nodes. depth of which is 17. The classes of level 1. 2 of SHKN is quite different from the existing structure classified in top-down method. 2 b but the lower classes than level 2 is very objective.
