US Patent 7970829 Managing a relationship network

This disclosure provides various embodiments of systems, methods, and software for the management of relationship networks. In one implementation, the software identifies an electronic communication, parses the electronic communication into a first communication attribute and a second communication attribute, and stores the first and second communication attributes in an attribute repository. Based on this persisted information, the software calculates one or more relationship indicators based on at least one of the first and second communication attributes and, perhaps in response to a request, communicates at least a subset of the relationship indicators to an interface for presentation as a graphical relationship network.
