Regardless of the knowledge representation schema chosen to implement a linguistic resource, conceptual design is an important step in its development. However, it is normally put aside by developing efforts as they focus on content, implementation and time-saving issues rather than on the software engineering aspects of the construction of linguistic resources. Based on an analysis of common problems found in linguistic resources, we present a reusable conceptual model which incorporates elements that give ontology developers the possibility to establish formal semantic descriptions for concepts and relations, and thus avoiding the aforementioned common problems. The model represents a step forward in our efforts to define a complete methodology for the design and implementation of ontology-based linguistic resources using relational databases and a sound software engineering approach for knowledge representation.
