• posTag: tag converted to @pos on the corresponding token
• lemmas: lemma converted to @lemma on the corresponding token
• orthography: correction converted to @reg on the corresponding token
• dependencies: dependency => @gov_IDs converted to @head, and @class to @deprel on the corresponding token
• parses: parse => converted to eTree
• sentences: sentences => converted to s with the corresponding tokens inside
• namedEntities: entity => converted to name with the corresponding tokens inside

Known issues

Not all parts are implemented, and for all but sentences and entities, annotations can only relate to single tokens.
