1. A method of data acquisition, comprising:
- downloading a user'"'"'s sent materials from a communication data repository;
analyzing the sent materials and extracting data portions that are authored by the user;
generating statistical values from the extracted data;
transmitting the generated statistical values to one or multiple repositories;
receiving the generated statistical values on one or multiple server machines; and
aggregating statistical values of multiple users.

13. A distributed social sensor system implemented method for social network inference or expertise location comprising:
-
installing a software program residing on an individual user'"'"'s machine for downloading the user'"'"'s own sent materials from a communication data repository; analyzing the downloaded materials and extracting the data portions that are explicitly authored by the user; generating statistical values from the explicitly extracted data; transmitting the generated statistical values to one or multiple social sensor server repositories; installing a software program residing on one or multiple social sensor server repository machines to receive the statistical values of multiple users; and aggregating the statistical values of multiple users to construct one or plural aggregated social networks, expertise inference, or social networks and expertise inference of multiple people including only users or both users and non-users.
