Peter Gloor recenty completed a paper, Analyzing Actors and Their Discussion Topics by Semantic Social Network Analsysis, with Yan Zhao. It discusses how iQuest can look at organizational behavior while respecting privacy. It discusses how iQuest can compare different interaction channels (such as emails and blogs), look at network membership, and correlate organizational performance and creativity.

iQuest is a hybrid tool that uses a form of social network to enhance its search results and content analysis to enhance its social network analysis results. It can look at structured, semi-structured and unstructured data. Peter is presenting the paper at the 10th International Conference on Information Visualisation 5, 6, 7 July 2006 in London, a good time to be there.
