How to reuse functionality of a (generic) dataset?
Hi @ArneBinder, we have a few "generic" datasets which are intended to load data files with a predefined format:
- csv: https://github.com/huggingface/nlp/tree/master/datasets/csv
- json: https://github.com/huggingface/nlp/tree/master/datasets/json
- text: https://github.com/huggingface/nlp/tree/master/datasets/text

You can find more details about this way to load datasets here in the documentation: https://huggingface.co/nlp/loading_datasets.html#from-local-files

Maybe your brat loading script could be shared in a similar fashion?
I have written a generic dataset for corpora created with the Brat annotation tool ([specification](https://brat.nlplab.org/standoff.html), [dataset code](https://github.com/ArneBinder/nlp/blob/brat/datasets/brat/brat.py)). Now I wonder how to use that to create specific dataset instances. What's the recommended way to reuse formats and loading functionality for datasets with a common format?

In my case, it took a bit of time to create the Brat dataset and I think others would appreciate to not have to think about that again. Also, I assume there are other formats (e.g. conll) that are widely used, so having this would really ease dataset onboarding and adoption of the library.
