Although big character collections with readings look more like a dictionary, I propose to model them as a wordlist, with some extensions. The reason is that for the creation of a wordlist we can use the pylexibank library, which offers integration of orthoprofiles and the like, so it is much easier to handle this. We also have readings for different epochs, and thus multiple "languages". We don't have concepticon-links, but this does not really make a difference, it never made for a wordlist.
So I would with this data propose a schema by which we model the data as a wordlist and not as a dictionary.
