Abstract
A system and method for evaluating an information aggregate. A metrics database stores document indicia including document attributes and associated person. A query engine responsive to a user request and the metrics database aggregates documents having same, unique attributes in a plurality of information aggregates, and determines the intersections of said information aggregates. A visualization engine displays these intersections selectively with reference to people, documents, usage patterns or categories.
