This paper presented a new method to construct semantic web of three-dimension model database based on ontology. Firstly we build ontology of three-dimension model database, according the model to extract classes, objects and attributes. Secondly utilize WordNet which is an English ontology to expand original ontology node to semantic extension node, including synonym, hypernym, hyponym and holonym. Experiment result shows that this method not only effectively expands the semantic vocabularies of a 3D model database, but also keeps good semantic relevance of the expanded vocabularies to the original ones, so as to achieve semantic based 3D model retrieval effectively.
