When a UIMA application is initialized, all of the components' type systems are combined / merged into a shared type system that the application will use. This type system is fixed at the start of the run, and cannot be changed.
That being said, it is possible for a particular annotator to create an instance of a type it doesn't know about until run time, provided that some component in the application specifies and defines that type. Does that cover the use case you have in mind? If not, could you provide a few more details of the use case? Thanks. -Marshall Ahmed Ragheb wrote: > Dear all, > > For some application, the annotator needs to create an annotation of a type > that is not defined in the type system.
