This is not an unreasonable question to ask, and I believe you are referring to an Ontology. OpenCyc is probably the best one of many that does this, though it has its own criticisms.
There are many other ontologies and I did a short summary when I was trying to find an answer the same question myself.

I think what is interesting, is my ontology has 8 or 9 words, and there is no concept of all about physical objects.
Are we actually intending on building AI that uses physical objects as absolutes in the ontology we give them?
That seems to programmatically preclude the possibility of an Enlightened AI, which is basically the solution to Friendly AI.
