Abstract
We propose applying standardized linguistic annotation to terms included in labels of knowledge representation schemes (taxonomies
or ontologies), hypothesizing that this would help improving ontology-based semantic annotation of texts. We share the view that
currently used methods for including lexical and terminological information in such hierarchical networks of concepts are not
satisfactory, and thus put forward "as a preliminary step to our annotation goal " a model for modular representation of conceptual,
terminological and linguistic information within knowledge representation systems. Our CTL model is based on two recent initiatives
that describe the representation of terminologies and lexicons in ontologies: the Terminae method for building terminological and
ontological models from text (Aussenac-Gilles et al., 2008), and the LexInfo metamodel for ontology lexica (Buitelaar et al., 2009).
