Summarising long documents

50 pages summarised in 2 minutes

Annual reports, sector studies and technical manuals far exceed the reading time decision-makers have. Useful information stays inside the document, and decisions are made on what people believe it contains.

Metadata and summaries for archiving

Archiving requires descriptive metadata: author, date, subject, keywords, summary. That entry comes at the end of the cycle, when the document has stopped being useful to its author, so it is rushed or put off. Archives then become hard to use and retention obligations rest on approximate filing.
