  • a database system implemented using a server system comprising one or more processors, the database system configured to cause;

    identifying from a plurality of data sources associated with an enterprise social networking system;

    a first subset of data items as having a first characteristic satisfying a first relevance parameter indicating relevance to a user of the enterprise social networking system, the first relevance parameter identifying an inner circle of data sources as a subset of the data sources with which the user interacts at or exceeding a user-designated frequency,a second subset of data items as having a second characteristic satisfying a second relevance parameter indicating relevance to the user, the second relevance parameter defined by an interest graph associated with the user, the interest graph maintained as a data structure using one or more data objects in a database to identify topics, feed items and keywords designated as being of interest to the user, anda third subset of data items as having a third characteristic satisfying a third relevance parameter indicating relevance to the user, the third relevance parameter identifying a group or an organization with which the user is associated;

    updating the second characteristic based on the updated interest graph;

    updating the highlights feed according to the updated characteristic;

    identifying a further data source based on an analysis of a combination of the updated interest graph with one or more of a social graph associated with the user or a sentiment graph associated with a user;
