A natural language interface for relational databases has been utilized at AT&T Bell Laboratories as the natural language component of the DARPA ATIS common task. This is a part of a larger project that consists of incorporating a natural language component into the Bell Laboratories Speech Recognizer.The commercially available system used in this project was developed by Natural Language Incorporation (NLI), in particular by J. Ginsparg [Ginsparg, 1976]. We relate our experience in adapting the NLI interface to handle domain dependent ATIS queries. The results of this allowed the exploration of several important issues in speech and natural language:1. the feasabilitiy of using an off-the-shelf commercial product for a language understanding front end to a speech recognizer,2. the constraints of using a general-purpose product for a specific task.
