Abstract
A method of monitoring a collaboration space receives an identification of a computerized collaboration space that a user desires to monitor. The method receives, from the user, an identification of events of interest with respect to the collaboration space. The items within the collaboration space as well as the collaborator interaction with the collaboration space are monitored to identify occurrences of the events of interest, and the method records such occurrences of the events of interest. The method can simply output reports that summarize the occurrences of the events of interest. In addition, the method can receive, from a user, one or more queries regarding the occurrences of the events. In response to any such query, the method searches the stored occurrences of the events to produce a response to the query, and outputs the response to the query.
