Import modified documents and annotations

[Lasse Mempel]

Ahoj,

we decided to include additional initial text into our already annotated documents, that we also want to annotate.
I struggle to find a way to modify an export of the documents and annotations with 
dkpro-cassis in a way, that it is importable again with the former annotations.
Can you give me a little help what would be the most promising way to accomplish this?
We use a custom span and a custom relation layer on a federated instance of Inception 38.3, so no server admin rights.

Best regards
Lasse

Hi,

Quite tricky. On the federated instance, you won't be able to use the remote API - which would be quite handy here.

So here would be my tip:

- Export the project (with UIMA CAS JSON as secondary format)
- Reimport the project
- Remove all documents from the re-imported project
- Use cassis to process the CAS JSON files from the original export as you need it (assuming that's not you blocker)
- Import those JSON files

The problem with this approach is that it only works if you only have a single annotator.
Outside of the remote API, there is no way of uploading annotated documents for individual annotators in a project.

Alternatively:

- Export the project
- Import it into a local INCEpTION running on your personal device
- Activate the remote API on that INCEpTION
- Use the remote API to retrieve documents and annotations (CAS JSON)
- Again create an empty clone of the project
- Use the remote API to upload the modified documents and modified annotations
- Export the project
- Import the project to the federated instance

Does any of this help?

Cheers,

Dear Richard,

your suggestion worked perfectly - thank you very much! You’ve probably saved me days of unnecessary tinkering.

Best regards,
Lasse
