We have machine-readable definitions of most CoNLL formats under
https://github.com/acoli-repo/conll-rdf/blob/master/owl/conll.ttl. This is
being used for lossless round-tripping among different CoNLL dialects and
between these and graph representations. Publication in preparation.

Best,
Christian
