UMI is a dissertation/thesis service responsible for keeping the scholarly record of doctoral and master's recipients worldwide. When UMI opened for business in 1938, their first publication was of the first dissertation written in the United States in 1861 by James Morris Whiton. Prior to UMI opening for business in the 1930's dissertations were only available on a very limited basis to research. Today, researchers everywhere recognize UMI as the publisher, cataloger, and marketer of doctoral dissertations. Its archiving service is the chosen resource for universities in the USA.

The notion of semantic grammars, proposed by Burton in his dissertation(1975, 1976), was to provide a desirable middle path for SOPHIE's parsing mechanisms. For greater conciseness of definition and ease of development in cases involving more complex input sentences, the grammar implemented with proceduralized rules was later replaced by the formalism of augmented transition networks(semantic ATN's), compiled for efficiency(Burton and Brown, 1979a).

VanLehn spends very little of his voluminous dissertation on demonstrating the coverage of his theory. Most of his effort goes into underlining its principled construction. First, he traces the performance of his model to a restricted set of sufficient principles, emphasizing that his design is transparent with respect to them. Second, he argues that these principles are necessary to the theory for empirical and explanatory adequacy by comparing them with potential competitors in what he calls competitive argumentation. In this context, it becomes essential to have well-defined processes by which modifications to the underlying principles propagate through the theory, via the kind of global constraints called entailments in REPAIR theory. VanLehn is now advocating his competitive argumentation as a general methodology for validating AI-based theories of human cognition(VanLehn et al., 1984). One of his central claims is that the contributions of a solid argumentation may well outlive the theory it was meant to support.
