Utilities for converting interlinear glossed texts (IGT) corpora between the following formats:

• EMELD (Cathy Bow, Baden Hughes, Steven Bird, (2003) "Towards a general model of interlinear text", Proceedings of Emeld workshop 2003) Online. Used in particular by SIL FLEX
• CONLL
• ELAN Elan website [in a specific configuration -- can be adapted to others]
• JSON representation of Emeld
