Abstract

Organizational data analysis and management are described, including evaluating an item comprising the organizational data, the item being created in a first application and having a first format, associating the item with the matter based on a type or a classification, and configuring the copy of the item for presentation in an interface associated with a second application using a second format, the copy of the item being configured for selection from within the second application in the first format.

Claims

1. A method for managing organizational data, comprising:

evaluating an item comprising the organizational data, the item being created in a first application and having a first format;

associating the item with the matter based on a type or a classification; and

configuring the copy of the item for presentation in an interface associated with a second application using a second format, the copy of the item being configured for selection from within the second application in the first format.

2. The method recited in claim 1, wherein associating the item is performed using an assigned matter tag.

3. The method recited in claim 1, wherein associating the item is performed using classification logic.

4. The method recited in claim 1, further comprising embedding a matter tag in the item to associate the item with the matter.

5. The method recited in claim 4, wherein the matter tag is manually generated.

6. The method recited in claim 4, wherein the matter tag is automatically generated.

7. The method recited in claim 1, wherein the item is an e-mail.

8. The method recited in claim 1, wherein the item is a message.

9. The method recited in claim 1, wherein the item is a document.

10. The method recited in claim 1, wherein the item is an electronic document.

12. The method recited in claim 1, further comprising storing the item using a matter tag.

13. A system for managing organizational data, comprising:

a memory configured to store organizational data;

a processor configured to evaluate an item comprising the organizational data, the item being created in a first application and having a first format, to associate the item with the matter based on a type or a classification, and to configure the copy of the item for presentation in an interface associated with a second application using a second format, the copy of the item being configured for selection from within the second application in the first format.

14. The system recited in claim 13, wherein the organizational data comprises structured data.

15. The system recited in claim 13, wherein the organizational data comprises unstructured data.

16. The system recited in claim 13, wherein the organizational data comprises an e-mail.

17. The system recited in claim 13, wherein the organizational data comprises a task.

18. The system recited in claim 13, wherein the organizational data comprises a document.

19. The system recited in claim 13, wherein the organizational data comprises a message.

20. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

evaluating an item comprising the organizational data, the item being created in a first application and having a first format;

associating the item with the matter based on a type or a classification; and

configuring the copy of the item for presentation in an interface associated with a second application using a second format, the copy of the item being configured for selection from within the second application in the first format.
