ABSTRACT:
A system and method for summarizing the contents of a natural language document provided in electronic or digital form includes preformatting the document, performing linguistic analysis, weighting each sentence in the document as a function of quantitative importance, and generating one or more document summaries, from a plurality of selectable document summary types, as a function of the sentence weights.
