Abstract
A system includes a document corpus containing structured documents, which contain both text and annotations of the text. The system also includes a search engine which is adapted to perform structured searches of the structured documents. As new types of annotations are added to the system, the search engine is updated automatically to become capable of performing structured searches for the new types of annotations. For example, if a new natural language processing (NLP) component, adapted to generate annotations of a new type, is added to the system, then the system automatically updates a query language to include a definition of the new type of annotation. The search engine may then immediately be capable of processing structured queries which refer to the new type of annotation.
