N2 - In this paper we introduce some of the key NLP-related problems related to the practice of Evidence Based Medicine and propose the task of multi-document query-focused summarisation as a key approach to solve these problems. We have completed a corpus for the development of such multi-document queryfocused summarisation task. The process to build the corpus combined the use of automated extraction of text, manual annotation, and crowdsourcing to find the reference IDs. We perform a statistical analysis of the corpus for the particular use of single-document summarisation and show that there is still a lot of room for improvement from the current baselines.
