One type system model used for machine translation has the source text as an immutable subject of analysis and the translation as annotations. Since annotations can be deleted or modified at any time the translation itself is dynamic. At the point that the translation is itself to be analyzed it is assembled from the active annotations and used to create a new view with the translation as subject of analysis. Can you say more about "many layers" of annotations? Is there interest in keeping a history of changes? The CAS type system together with CAS view mechanism offer a lot of options.
