Description	This paper describes the process of building Czech WordNet. We give the enumeration of the resources and tools used for this purpose and characterize so far obtained results. There are some problems with Czech as a synthetic language, with its rich inflectional morphology and word derivation. They are mentioned below and some solutions are suggested. The necessary resources for building Czech WordNet were worked out almost from scratch and required considerable adaptation.
