Hello,
I think (not sure though) that you can somehow open an XMI file with data that's not in the type system, and populate the CAS only with the known data without throwing an error.--Thilo
Yes, that's what I'm normally doing. If you just create a new CAS with a given type system and then deserialize the xmi, then UIMA doesn't care about the lost annotations. I use that functionality a lot, e.g., for filtering the visualized data.
