This paper describes a method for creating sense tagged data using Wikipedia as a source of sense semantic annotations. Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the ability to identify the meaning of words in context in a computational manner. It is essence of communication in a natural language. Through word sense disambiguation experiments and results we show that the Wikipedia-based sense annotations are reliable and can be used to construct accurate sense. Ambiguous words or sentences can be understood multiple ways, though only one meaning is intended. Disambiguation seeks to decipher the intended meaning of words and sentences However, the presented approach has several limitations: a small sample and a big number of fine senses in WordNet, many of which are not that distinguishable from each other. Keywords -Word Sense Disambiguation, Wikipedia, Wordnet, Semantic web 1. INTRODUCTION All natural languages contain words that can mean different things in different contexts. Ambiguities are essential to human language. In particular, word sense ambiguity is prevailing in all natural languages, with a large number of words in any given languages have more than one meaning. For instance, the English noun play can mean game or sports or drama. The correct sense of an ambiguous word can be selected based on the perspective where it .
