With the rapid growth of online information availability, it becomes more and more important to find and describe textual information effectively from multiple related e-documents. Domain specific related e-documents contain information which is much relevant, similar or repeated and shares same background. Reading these all multiple relevant e-documents completely for accurate & brief contents is time-consuming, unnecessary and impossible. In this scenario multidocument summarization is useful to give an outline of a topic from multiple related source documents and allow users to zoom in for more details as per interest.
