  ABSTRACT={This paper describes research on the development of a methodology for
     representing the information in texts and of procedures for relating the linguistic
     structure of a request to the corresponding representations. The work is being
     done in the context of a prototype system that will allow physicians and other
     health professionals to access information in a computerized textbook of hepatitis
     through natural language dialogues. The interpretation of natural language
     queries is derived from DIAMOND/DIAGRAM, a linguistically motivated, domain-independent
     natural language interface developed at SRI. A text access component is being
     developed that uses representations of the propositional content of text passages
     and of the hierarchical structure of the text as a whole to retrieve relevant
     information.}
