Hypertext, a neologism of the 1960s indicating something which is more than text, has taken over the attention of scholars, businesses and hobbyists in the form of the World Wide Web. Developed as a hypertext framework for information distribution , its overseeing organisation (W3C) has insisted on maintaining and developing a suite of open standards for data formats, communication protocols and programming interfaces to allow all comers to participate in a globally shared information repository. However the Web is just one example of how the development of hypertext philosophy, design and deployment has led to practical solutions for information dissemination, manipulation and maintenance. This paper describes how hypertext systems have evolved to become distributed and open providers of information services and examines the nature of the linking that forms the basis of hypertext functionality.

Discussion of Web databases, or search engines for the Internet, presents a series of questions that can be used to analyze these tools based on library literature. Six search engines are analyzed; collection methods, indexing, and abstracting are compared; and a proposal for a future ideal Web database is included. (DB) |

A concept-based method for automatic abstracting |

Reports results of a Library and Information Commission, UK, (LIC) funded study into the feasibility of a concept based method for automatic abstracting. Most published research papers are prefaced by an abstract written by the author. It is widely recognized, however, that author abstracts are often of a poor standard and because of this commercial abstracting organizations exist which prepare abstracts conforming to expected standards of balance and accuracy. Abstracts of recently published documents in a given domain may be published regularly in special abstracting and indexing services ('secondary journals'), or may be available for browsing on the World Wide Web. The abstracts are usually composed manually by professional abstractors. Researchers are often inconvenienced by delays in the appearance of these professional abstracts. Automatic abstracting operates by taking a source text in electronic form, processing it in order to identify the most important ideas discussed in the text, and organizing the selected material to produce a running text which, hopefully, expresses the essence of the source text in a concise form. With the concept based abstracting (CBA) approach, abstracts are produced in three stages: selection from the text of a collection of strings which may contain key ideas; selection from among these candidate strings of specific names which are associated with relevant semantic roles; and generation of an abstract containing all the selected concept names (DB) |

We present our work on open-domain multi-document summarization in the framework of Web search. Our system, SNS (pronounced "essence"), retrieves documents related to an unrestricted user query and summarizes a subset of them as selected by the user. We present a taskbased extrinsic evaluation of the quality of the produced multi-document summaries. The evaluation results show that summarization quality is relatively high and does help improve the reading speed and judge the relevance of the retrieved URLs. (AU) |
