generally I am not obsessed with acronyms. PAST may be a good mnemonic regardless.
But "schemata" is misleading. I think it sends too limited a message.

oh btw: not "schematas", please!!  it reminds me of "paninis" and I convulse in horror :-)    it's either schemas (US) or schemata 
(Greece, UK and other civilised regions :-))
