Abstract : We introduce CST (cross-document structure theory), a paradigm for multidocument analysis. CST takes into account the rhetorical structure of clusters of related textual documents. We present a taxonomy of cross-document relationships. We argue that CST can be the basis for multidocument summarization guided by user preferences for summary length, information provenance, cross-source agreement, and chronological ordering of facts.,
