A summary is a shortened version of the original. The main purpose of such a simplification is to highlight the major points from the genuine (much longer) subject, e.g. a text, a film or an event. The aim is to help the audience get the gist in a short period of time. (Wikipedia)

A Summary is Worth a Thousand of Words |
Summarization is relevant to all information workers, irrespective of their expertise.
When we read, we always have to parse the text. We read and re-read to extract the main statements. We underline important ideas and arguments according to the main statement.
We work hard to assemble all the pertinent facts in logical order. And once all of this is done we then check if the summary reflects the original conclusions.
