ConceptNet 5

ConceptNet is a multilingual knowledge base, representing words and phrases that people use and the common-sense relationships between them. The knowledge in ConceptNet is collected from a variety of resources, including crowd-sourced resources (such as Wiktionary and Open Mind Common Sense), games with a purpose (such as Verbosity and nadya.jp), and expert-created resources (such as WordNet and JMDict).

You can browse what ConceptNet knows at http://conceptnet.io.
