An identification and contextualization system comprising a contextualizing engine is provided. The contextualizing engine comprises various components that are operable to analyze an information item related to a user for identifying one or more individuals associated with the information item, and interrogate a graph structure for determining whether each of the one or more individuals associated with the information item is someone whom the user has met or has worked with based on edges and weights stored in the graph structure. When an individual who is associated with the information item is identified, the contextualizing engine is further operable to discover contextual information associated with the individual, and generate an information element surfacing the contextual information associated with the individual for display to the user.

Systems and methods are disclosed for meeting completion. In one implementation, a message generated in relation to a meeting is received. The message is processed to identify a first action item and a first user associated with the first action item. The first action item is assigned to the first user. Performance of the first action item by the first user is tracked. The performance of the first action item by the first user is presented within an action tracking interface.

A server system comprising a physically separate storage area for each of a plurality of respective parties including a first and second party, and a manager function for managing the storage. E.g. some of the storage areas may be in separate server units or at separate geographic locations. Each of at least some of the storage areas stores a primary instance of one or more data resources of the respective party. The manager function is configured so as, in response to the second party forming a relationship with one of the resources of the first party, establish a secondary copy of said one of the resources of the first party in the respective storage area of the second party. Further, when the primary instance is updated with a change, the manager function automatically propagates the change in the primary instance to the secondary copy in the second party's storage area.

Modifying data resources within party-partitioned storage areas

Enhancing and personalizing an electronic message with related and relevant information based on context of the message and recipients of the message is provided. A mailbox delivery agent receives an electronic message addressed to a recipient, extracts context data from the electronic message, queries an information source for information related to the context data and relevant to the recipient user, receives a response including information related to the context data and relevant to the recipient user, and generates and appends one or more information elements representative of the information related to the context data and relevant to the recipient user to the electronic message.
