5. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, we have briefly considered some aspects of a knowledge-based approach to generating referring expressions in a natural language advisory system. This approach combines conceptually (rather than lexically) based knowledge representation, semantic and pragmatic processes and syntactic information to provide a multipronged &amp;quot;human-Hke&amp;quot; attack on the problem of reference generation. Although constraints on time and resources limited the scope and coverage of our work, we were able to establish a base from which we hope to expand in future projects. Both our successes and the many unsolved problems we encountered in the course of our work lead us to the ineluctible conclusion that few of the pro.blems of reference generation are likely to be solved unless all of the available resources of a dialog system are mobilized from the outset.</Paragraph>
