The multi-document summarization aims at producing a summary from a set of related texts to be used for an individual or/and a particular task. Nowadays, with the exponential growth of available information and the people‟s need to obtain information in a short time, the task of automatic summarization has received wide attention. It is known that in a set of related texts there are pieces of redundant, contradictory and complementary information that represent the multi-document phenomenon. In each source text, the main subject is described in a sequence of subtopics. Furthermore, some sentences in the same text are more relevant than others. Considering this context, it is expected that a multi-document summary consists of relevant information that represents a set of texts. However, strategies for automatic multidocument summarization adopted until now have used only the relationships between texts and dismissed the analysis of textual structure of each source text, resulting in summaries that are less representative of subtopics and less informative than they could be. In order to properly treat the relevance of information, multi-document phenomena and distribution of subtopics, in this thesis, we investigated how to model the summarization process using the semantic-discursive knowledge and its impact for producing more informative and representative summaries from source texts. In order to formalize the semantic-discursive knowledge, we adopted RST (Rhetorical Structure Theory) and CST (Cross-document Structure Theory) theories. To support the work, a multi-document corpus was annotated with RST and subtopics, consisting of a new resource available for other researchers. From the corpus analysis, 10 methods for subtopic segmentation and 13 orignal methods for automatic summarization were proposed. The assessment of methods for subtopic segmentation showed that there is a strong relationship between the subtopics structure and the rhetorical analysis of a text. In regards to the assessment of the methods for automatic summarization, the results indicate that the use of semantic-discursive knowledge in good strategies for content selection affects positively the production of informative summaries.
