We summarize some of the work of Markl which reduces the classification of natural differential operators of a given type (e.g. which takes n vector fields and multilinearly produces a vector field) to questions in graph cohomology. He then solves this question in some cases, by identifying the graph cohomology question with a question from the theory of operads, in particular using two very different presentations of the pre-Lie operad.
