Abstract
Linked Data knowledge sources such as DBpedia, Freebase, and Wikidata currently offer large amounts of factual data. As the amount of information that can be grasped by users is limited, data summaries are needed. If a summary relates to a specific entity we refer to it as entity summarization. Unfortunately, in many settings, the summaries of entities are tightly bound to user interfaces. This practice poses problems for efficient and objective comparison and evaluation.
In this paper we focus on the question of how to make summaries exchangeable between multiple interfaces and multiple summarization services in order to facilitate evaluation and testing. We introduce SUMMA, an API definition that enables to decouple generation and presentation of summaries. It enables multiple consumers to retrieve summaries from multiple providers in a unified and lightweight way.
