5 Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have discussed the GDA project, which aims at supporting versatile and intelligent contents. Our focus in the present paper is one of its applications to automatic text summarization. We are evaluating our summarization method using online Japanese articles with GDA tags. We are also extending text summarization to that of hypertext. For example, a smnmary of a hypertext document will include recursively embedding linked documents in summary, which should be useful for encyclopedic entries, too.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Future work includes construction of a large-scale GDA corpus and system evaluation by open experimentation. GDA tools including a tagging editor and a browser will soon be publicly available on the WWW. Our main current concern is interactive and intelligent presentation, as an extension of text summarization. This may turn out to be a killer application of GDA. because it does not just presuppose rather small amount of tagged document but also makes the effect of tagging immediately visible to the author. We hope that our project revolutionize global and intercultural communications.</Paragraph>
