ABSTRACT={Many seemingly very different application tasks for natural language
systems can be viewed as a matter of inferring the instance of a prespecified
schema from the information in the text and the knowledge base. We have defined
and implemented a schema specification and recognition language for the TACITUS
natural language system. This effort entailed adding operators sensitive to
resource bounds to the first-order predicate calculus accepted by a theorem-prover.
We give examples of the use of this schema language in a diagnostic task, an
application involving data base entry from messages, and a script recognition
task, and we consider further possible developments.}
