Systems and methods for collation, translation, and analysis of passively created digital interaction and relationship data

摘要

A method of modeling relationships between e-mail users. The method includes extracting a record of e-mail exchanges between the users. The record is extracted from at least one of an e-mail server and an e-mail transfer agent. The data is extracted through a direct internet access protocol. The method includes filtering the record to produce relevant interaction data based on the e-mail exchanges between two users. Relevant interaction data includes a number of e-mail exchanges between the users and includes a ratio of source to target and target to source interactions. The method includes loading the relevant interaction data into a relationship modeling program, which assigns a weight to each of a plurality of characteristics of the relevant interaction data and provides a model of relationships between the e-mail users based at least in part on the weight of each characteristic. The plurality of characteristics comprises interaction volume.
