| Abstract: | Understanding the patterns of sending and receiving email within
an organization may help us to understand the historical and
social dimensions of that organization [1, 3]. In addition to
asynchronous person-to-person communication, email is also used
for other purposes such as task management and personal
archives. However, tools for visualizing, analyzing, and
understanding communication patterns tend to focus on a static
view of such patterns. We are developing a visualization system
to help users perform tasks from perspectives based on temporal
and connectivity patterns. Specifically, our system is designed to
support browsing the email archive of W3C working groups. The
archive has been made available to the TREC 2005 Enterprise
Competition. This system supports both temporal views and
linkage views. Temporal views can help users easily find a mail.
Linkage views show emails that belong to the same discussion
group. Linkage views make it easy to extract related information
by showing the relationships of those messages and senders. |
