This paper reports initial work on developing methods for automatic generation of multi-document summaries of dissertation abstracts in a digital library. The focus is on automatically generating a summary of a set of dissertation abstracts retrieved in response to user query, and presenting the summary using a visualization method. A hierarchical variable-based framework for multi-document summarization of dissertation abstracts in sociology and psychology is presented. The framework makes use of macro-level and microlevel discourse structure of dissertation abstracts as well as cross-document structure. The micro-level structure of problem statements found in a sample of 50 dissertation abstracts was analyzed, and the common features found are described in the paper. A demonstration prototype with a tree-view interface for presenting multi-document abstracts has been implemented.
