Abstract

It is difficult to understand the outline of community-type content such as Blog, Social Network Services(SNS), and Bulletin Board System(BBS) because multiple users post content freely. In this paper, we have developed a system that presents the outline of community-type content by using Wikipedia. We focus on the table of contents (TOC) collected from Wikipedia. Our system compares the comments in a thread with the information in the TOC obtained from Wikipedia and identifies contents that are similar. Thus, the user can understand the outline of community-type content when he/she views a table with similar contents.
