8 years ago Thank you for your very detailed report on that.
Looking into the exception stack lets me guess, it could be an encoding problem. The following line looks a bit like that:
Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseExceptionpublicId: file:/home/ldd/src/corpus-tools/annis/annis-kickstarter-3.3.6/GUM_relANNIS/corpus.tab; systemId: file:/home/ldd/src/corpus-tools/annis/annis-kickstarter-3.3.6/GUM_relANNIS/corpus.tab; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 1; Content is not allowed in prolog.
But nevertheless you got us. The RelANNISImporter was set as deprecated and probably does not work with the relANNIS version of the GUM corpus. We are sorry about that. In the next versions it will be removed entirely. I would propose to use the PAULAImporter, but you found that solution on your own ;-). Concerning the ConLL format, this is a bit tricky, since there are a lot of CoNLL formats outthere, which differ in the number of columns. That means unfortunately it depends on the version of the CoNLL format whether atomic (or Pepper) can deal with it. Could you send your CoNLL corpus to us under the following address:
saltnpepper@lists.hu-berlin.de
Thank you and best regards Florian

Versions
Atomic 0.2.1 (this is the latest stable release at time of writing)
This is running on Debian testing.
Steps to reproduce
./atomicFile > Import Corpus.Corpus Importthat appears underAtomic. ClickNext.RelANNISImporteramong the choices of Pepper modules.relANNISversion 3.1 among the formats, which is the only choice.Target path is atoDirectory, and select the directory for the GUM corpus you've unzipped somewhere in the first step. (That's the directory that contains the.tabfiles.) ClickNext.Nextagain without setting a property.test1. ClickFinish.Expected results
Ideally, I'd expect the corpus to be imported.
If somehow I'm doing something I should not, then I'd expect Atomic to guide me towards using it properly, and I'd expect some informative error message to be provided by the GUI.
Actual results
There is a "Progress Information" dialog that comes up but never reaches completion. The corpus is not imported. The GUI does not help towards a resolution.
The console shows:
Observations
I have no experience with ANNIS or Atomic, or with the relANNIS format. I did read the documentation here. Importing the GUM corpus into ANNIS worked correctly on the first try. I pretty much used the method I described above, but with the modifications appropriate for ANNIS: I unzipped GUM somewhere, then I pointed ANNIS to the directory that contains all the
.tabfiles, clicked the button to import and it worked! Then I tried the equivalent in Atomic and got nowhere fast. I've tried a bunch of variations, just in case:corpus.tabinstead of the directory. (As I said, I'm not familiar with the format, so I don't know if this makes sense at all. I've worked with other corpus formats that split a corpus among many files but have a file that serves as the "main" file of the corpus. A file namedcorpus.tabseemed a good candidate for this, so I tried.)Nothing above worked and the error messages left on the console were generally not helpful.
Surely there are things I tried that would appear obviously wrong from the point of view of someone who already knows how to load a relANNIS corpus into Atomic. I'd expect though that anything obviously wrong would be prevented by the GUI. For instance, if it is obviously wrong to try to load a relANNIS corpus as a single file, the option to load as a single file should just not be present on the screen. Or if only
.tabfiles can be loaded, then I should not be able to select a.zipfile.Finally, I tried loading GUM in the PAULA format, and this worked, but it only adds to my puzzlement because I unzipped the zip file and pointed Atomic to the top directory that was created from unzipping the zip, which is essentially what I did with relANNIS. So I don't know why this worked.
