Entity type systems
The entity type system that Natural Language Understanding uses differs depending on which version date and which language you are using. This page describes, for each version date, which type system is used for each language.
The Version 1 entity type system is deprecated. As of 11 July 2023, the v1 Entities type system will no longer be available. To understand which Version 1 entity types have been added to or removed in Version 2, see Version 1 deprecation notes.
For example, analyzing entities in French text with version date set to 2018-09-21 uses the Version 2 entity type system.
Analyzing entities in French text with a 2017-02-27 version date uses the Version 1 entity type system.
