Noncommutative algebraic geometry studies a certain quotient category $R$-qgr of the category of graded $R$-modules which for commutative $R$ is equivalent to the category of quasi-coherent sheaves by a famous theorem of Serre. For a large of graded algebras, the so-called schematic algebras, we are able to construct a kind of scheme such that the coherent sheaves on it are equivalent to $R$-qgr. We give a brief survey on the results so-far on schematic algebras and include some new results on cohomological properties of Auslander-Gorenstein algebras which might be useful in determining the strength of the schematic property.
