Context: Social Network, an alternative concept developed in the Pinpoint project but never detailed.

Description: People in the organization are presented in a social network, based on mined social data such a communication frequencies and buddy lists. Moreover, a list of content tags characterizing the people in the view is presented. When a person is selected (2a), all tags for that person are highlighted. When a tag is selected (2b), all people matching that tag are highlighted.

Interesting: The coupling of social data and topical tags seems to be somewhat promising.

Inspired by: The huge trend in visualizing social networks, combined with general dynamic-query ideas.

Date: March 2008.
