Has Google put these summaries into place itself, or is it something
we've done on our end?
Googling for "Hyperlinked encyclopedia article covers the country's
history" results in about 16,000 hits, second of which is the Open
Directory at
dmoz.org. I think that that is the source of the
phrase.
If a specific page is mentioned in
dmoz.org, google does include the
description (as long as there are no snippets to be shown) unless
there is a specific flag set in the meta information of that page.
