SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMMUNICATION AMONG COLLABORATING USERS
First Claim
1. A method of building a representation of related individuals, comprising:
- providing a database comprising records, each record including identifying information relating to an individual;
providing a set of users with access to the database using a computer system;
allowing a first user of the set of users to interact with a first record page via the computer system, the interaction including one of more of;
modifying the first record page based on input from the first user;
modifying or adding a node in a first set of user-created nodes in an account of the first user based at least partly on identifying information from the first record page; and
modifying a setting of the account of the first user to save data related to the first record page;
identifying a subset of the set of users based at least partly on an existing or predicted relationship of the subset of users'"'"' accounts to the first record page; and
providing a notification to the subset of users related to the interaction.

Abstract
Embodiments relate to methods and systems for building representations of related subjects. The representations may include a plurality of nodes, each being associated with a subject. Users may be able to access records and/or source documents related to a plurality of subjects and add or modify node characteristics based thereon. Users may interact with (e.g., by adding to or modifying) documents, files, and/or records and may also make other changes or additions to nodes in the system. A process may then identify what other users may be interested in such interaction and why. For example, a score may be associated with the interaction and other users based on factors such as whether the users have linked to the document, file or record and/or the node the interaction may apply to. Interacting users, identified users, and interaction details may be stored in a database. Identified users may be notified of the interaction.

8. A system for building a representation of related individuals, comprising:
-
a storage medium storing a database comprising records, each record including identifying information relating to an individual; and a processor programmed to; provide a set of users with access to the database using a computer system; allow a first user of the set of users to interact with a first record page via the computer system, the interaction including one of more of; modifying the first record page based on input from the first user; modifying or adding a node in a first set of user-created nodes in an account of the first user based at least partly on identifying information from the first record page; and modifying a setting of the account of the first user to save data related to the first record page; identify a subset of the set of users based at least partly on an existing or predicted relationship of the subset of users'"'"' accounts to the first record page; and provide a notification to the subset of users related to the interaction. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-usable medium having computer readable instructions stored thereon for execution by a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
providing a database comprising records, each record including identifying information relating to an individual; providing a set of users with access to the database using a computer system; allowing a first user of the set of users to interact with the first record page via the computer system, the interaction including one of more of; modifying the first record page based on input from the first user; modifying or adding a node in a first set of user-created nodes in an account of the first user based at least partly on identifying information from the first record page; and modifying a setting of the account of the first user to save data related to the first record page; identifying a subset of the set of users based at least partly on an existing or predicted relationship of the subset of users'"'"' accounts to the first record page; and providing a notification to the subset of users related to the interaction. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
