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_Ika-ChibErgIS’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. The comparison was carried out semi-automatically with the help of Claude (Anthropic); errors or misunderstandings are possible, so please double-check anything unclear.
1. Document-level (naming conventions)
| Field | Suggestion |
|---|---|
sound_url |
possibly rename to sound_url (see Document-level in metadata.html) - please verify |
2. Sentence-level (naming conventions)
| Field | Suggestion |
|---|---|
morphemic_text |
make tags: annot_morph |
3. Token-level (naming conventions)
| Field | Suggestion |
|---|---|
AlignBegin |
rename to WordAlignmentBegin |
AlignEnd |
rename to WordAlignmentEnd |

Needs a small script
- None outstanding -
sound_urlis already present under the standard name inarh_chibergis-ud-test.conllu(verified), so item 1 needs no change once confirmed (see below).
Needs manual input from maintainers
sound_url: the draft flags this as “possibly rename tosound_url” - the field is already namedsound_urlin the released data, so this looks like a leftover from an earlier check; please just confirm no change is actually needed here.
