Abstract not found

This document is an outline of the theory of sketches with pointers to the literature. An extensive bibliography is given. Some coverage is given to related areas such as algebraic theories, categorial model theory and categorial logic as well. An appendix beginning on page 11 provides definitions of some of the less standard terms used in the paper, but the reader is expected to be familiar with the basic ideas of category theory. A rough machine generated index begins on page 21. I would have liked to explain the main ideas of all the papers referred to herein, but I am not familiar enough with some of them to do that. It seemed more useful to be inclusive, even if many papers were mentioned without comment. One consequence of this is that the discussions in this document often go into more detail about the papers published in North America than about those published elsewhere.
