We will discuss the tautological systems of the moduli spaces of stable maps. These generalize the more familar systems obtained from the moduli spaces of stable curves. In genus 0 and when the target is a flag variety we show that all Chow classes are tautological. Relations between the tautological classes will imply reconstruction theorems for some Gromov-Witten invarians.
