A system and method for providing mixed-initiative curation of information within a shared repository is provided. Static content is retrieved from a shared storage associated with a shared information management client. Dynamic content including one or more information items satisfying a similarity threshold with the static content is identified as similar dynamic content. An interactive visualization is generated within the shared information management client from information extracted from the static content and the similar dynamic content. The interactive visualization of the information is linked with the static content and the similar dynamic content. A selection of the information of the similar dynamic content is received from within the visualization. The static content in the shared storage is updated with the similar dynamic content linked with the selected information.

A system and method for supporting targeted sharing and early curation of information is provided. A digital data item selection by a user within a personal information management client is identified. One or more documents in a shared information repository similar to the digital data item are recommended including selecting recommendation criteria. The recommendation criteria are applied to the digital data item and the one or more documents. The one or more documents satisfying the recommendation criteria are identified as the similar documents. The similar documents are displayed visually proximate to the digital data item in the personal information client. A selection of one of the similar documents is received and the selected similar document in the shared information repository is updated with the digital data item.
