Mike,

This is what I am looking for.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_summarization

I want to obtain a summary of a huge document as meaningful sentences. I do
not want a bag of words as the output. I have 1000's of documents each one
running to 3-4 pages. I plan to use R to do clustering/classification of
these documents. Instead of working with the original document, I think it
would be better to work with a summary of the documents since this would
avoid memory issues.

Thank you.

Ravi
