Abstract Co-evolution accounts have generally been used to describe how problems and solutions both change during the design process. More generally, can be considered as analytic categories, where is seen occur within categories or across categories. There are more of interest than just solutions, for example, participants in a process (such members team different teams) defined by ontologies ...

This paper introduces a hybrid method for abstracting Chinese text. It integrates the statistical approach with language understanding. Some linguistics heuristics and segmentation are also incorporated into the abstracting process. The prototype system is of a multipurpose type catering for various users with different requirements. Initial responses show that the proposed method contributes m...
