4 Example of generation
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this section we present a very brief example of generation in the context of the editor's workbench. The system is configured according to the overall architecture shown in Figure 3. The requirement that text be generated is embedded in the editor's interaction with the editor's workbench. A range of possible types of presentation are offered: currently these are restricted 4Other contributions are the currently focussed portion of the information net that the editor has established during his/her interaction with the system and possible user-profiles of interest.</Paragraph>

The text generation process is then started with the constraint that some set of genre features hold; in addition, some set of register features are also selected in order to characterize the communicative situation. The text generation component then constructs a full GSP specification for the text type. This sets up staged sets of constraints on knowledge to be selected from the domain. That information is retrieved and classified according to the complete register classification network. This establishes * a set of constraints for the semantics and grammar, * a set of pools of contextual information that are to be realized linguistically.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> The latter are then organized rhetorically, thematically, ideationally, etc. according to the constrained semantics, which results in sets of rhetorically organized semantic specifications that can be passed to the constrained grammar for final realization.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> More specifically, the text generation component carries out the following operations. First, the editor's workbench provides a focus for the textual summary that is to be constructed for the internal information represented and triggers generation. A specific genre must also be selected at this point: for example, one classified by the set of genre features: {activity-focused partial-biography third-person-recount particularized factual-genre). These features give rise to the concrete GSP:</Paragraph>
