Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus are provided for receiving and responding to knowledge interchange (“KI”) queries. KI queries are search queries directed to database of KI profiles. A KI profile identifies the interests of a user, the individuals with which a user has communicated, and the topics on which communication with the user was made. KI profiles are received from a plurality of client computers and stored in a profile database. Out-of-process processing may be performed on the contents of the profile database. Requests may be received to query the profile database. In response to receiving such requests, the received queries may be executed over the profile database to identify search results. The search results may then be returned as a response to the query.
