POS tagset map for BNC maps common nouns to N

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The tagset map for the BNC maps common nouns to N rather than to NN, see

dkpro/core/api/lexmorph/tagset/en-c5-pos.map

Is there a particular reason for that?

All the other tagset mappings in api.lexmorph map common nouns to NN

There is only "N" (Noun) in the 12 universal pos tags - cf. issue 76.

I see, so that means all the other tagset mappings (besides BNC) should be 
updated then (someday) to the N of the universal tagset?

Either that or we reconsider on the universal tags if we figure that a more 
fine-grained distinction on nouns should be made. Strictly speaking, having NN 
and NP doesn't even contradict the 12 universal tags, since NN and NP are 
currently modeled as subtypes of N.

Still, the reason that there is only N in the BNC mapping is most likely that 
the mapping was written with the 12 universal tags in mind. I think it can just 
be updated.
