Metadata harmonisation: align spoken-data fields with UniDive naming conventions

Cross-posting from the UniDive WG1 T1.5 (spoken language guidelines) metadata harmonisation review. We compared UD_Danish-DDT’s current CoNLL-U metadata against the proposed naming conventions (see also the full treebank status table). This is a suggestion for maintainers to review - feel free to push back on anything that doesn’t fit the corpus.
1. Is the spoken portion identifiable?
This treebank mixes spoken and written material but its .conllu files don’t explicitly mark which sentences are spoken, and we could not find any usable signal: there is no newdoc id, and sent_id is just a sequential counter (train-v2-0, train-v2-1, …) with no genre/source information.
Suggestion: Could # modality (or # genre) be added per document/sentence, so the spoken portion can be identified programmatically?
This issue was prepared as part of the UniDive WG1 T1.5 spoken language guidelines effort. Happy to help implement these changes ourselves if that’s easier than doing it on your end - just let us know.
