Abstract
We develop a system that operates on a document collection and represents the contained information to enable the intuitive and efficient exploration of the collection. Using various NLP, IE and Semantic Web methods, we generate a semantic layer on top of the collection, from which we take the key concepts. We define templates for structured reorganisation and rearrange the information related to the key concepts to fit the respective template. The use case of the system is to support knowledge workers (journalists, editors, curators, etc.) in their task of processing large amounts of documents by summarising the information contained in these documents and suggesting potential story paths that the knowledge worker can then process further.
