In order to produce a good summary, one has to identify the most relevant portions of a given text. We describe in this paper a method for automatically training topic signatures-sets of related words, with associated weights, organized around head topics and illustrate with signatures we created with 6,194 TREC collection texts over 4 selected topics. We describe the possible integration of topic signatures with outologies and its evaluaton on an automated text summarization system.
