We present a method of thesaurus construction in order to produce semantic concept hierarchy of Korean nouns and implement a system for constructing the thesaurus in this paper. Multiple-step construction method is applied to this system which uses bottom-up and top-down method complementarily for solving the non-objectivity of word hierarchy, working speed, structural contradiction and incoherency of existing thesaurus. This system maintains objectivity using the meaning sentence of machine-readable dictionary and solves structural contradiction and incoherency with reference to existing thesaurus. We implement a developmental tool based on client/server system to construct thesaurus including massive entries as soon as possible and multiple client can work simultaneously.
