BratReader does not support N1 Reference tags

[alaindesilets]

If you run ReadBrat.java in the attached Maven project, you get this errror:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unknown annotation format: [N1	Reference T1 Wikipedia:Q95	Google]

Yet, the annotation in question is perfectly valid, according to the brat format specification:

https://brat.nlplab.org/standoff.html

I should point out that we are encountering this problem because we are using BratReader to read some files that were previously annotated by MetamapLite, and that tool makes use of the Reference line in the .ann files.

So far, normalizations (N) are not supported by the BratReader/BratWriter in DKPro Core.

Any plans to add them? Btw we noticed that you guys released the fix we sent you last month thx. I started the process for getting the paperwork done to allow us to contribute to dkpdo. So if you give me an idea of how to go about adding support for reference brat lines into the Brat reader and writer we can implement it.

Also: - Are there coding guidelines to follow? - Are there unit tests for BratReader and BratWriter to be updated?

The contribution guidelines include links to coding convention templates.

Yes, there are unit tests for the brat module.

If I understand it correctly, then the normalization annotations in brat are essentially like attributes. The BratReader could probably just treat them as String attributes. The BratWriter would need some way of configuring which attributes should be rendered as normalization attributes instead of regular attributes.
