This paper considers a method for generating visual summary from discussion log on BBS. We have been developing KGBBS (KeyGraph-based BBS), which enables online discussion while sharing data visualized by KeyGraph. In order to utilize the discussion log of KGBBS, the concept of visual summary is proposed for visualizing the transition of topics during discussion. The visual summary is generated by extracting a comment chain diagram that shows the structure of discussion and visualizing topical transition on KeyGraph. This paper also discusses the concept of visual summary for ordinary text-based BBS by extending the KeyGraph-based visual summary.
