[Lingtyp] ELAN FLEx ELAN round trip

[Alexandre Arkhipov]

Dear Eline and all,

As far as I can see, GRAID annotations would be mostly word-level 
annotations (not sentence-level), and FLEx only supports sentence-level 
custom tiers so far. Importing any kind of word analysis is very tricky 
(and not supported by FLEx itself as of now).
We're trying to import glosses but that's relying on the information 
stored in the lexicon (so we have to update the lexicon and also the 
word analyses). While annotations like grammatical functions or 
information status do not belong to the lexicon, they would need to be 
stored as "word glosses" in FLEx, and you'd probably need some extra 
writing systems to simulate extra word-level tiers.
An alternative would be to keep GRAID annotations in ELAN and merge them 
with the glossing when you're done with the rest of analysis in FLEx.

Best,
Sasha
