We report on a language resource consisting of 2000 annotated bibliography
entries, which is being analyzed as part of our research on indicative document
summarization. We show how annotated bibliographies cover certain aspects of
summarization that have not been well-covered by other summary corpora, and
motivate why they constitute an important form to study for information
retrieval. We detail our methodology for collecting the corpus, and overview
our document feature markup that we introduced to facilitate summary analysis.
We present the characteristics of the corpus, methods of collection, and show
its use in finding the distribution of types of information included in
indicative summaries and their relative ordering within the summaries.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
