Semantic Web documents that encode facts about entities on the Web have been growing rapidly in size and evolving over time.

Specifically, we highlight the importance of diversified (faceted) summaries by combining three dimensions: diversity, uniqueness, and popularity. Our novel diversity-aware entity summarization approach mimics human conceptual clustering techniques to group facts, and picks representative facts from …
