Abstract
A pool of messages, e.g., e-mails and/or other electronic documents that each correspond to a communication from a sender to a recipient, is analyzed to identify communication chains between a source and a target. Sender and recipient identifiers extracted from the messages are used to detect direct and indirect communication links between pairs of entities. Information related to the identified communication chains can be presented to a user via an interactive network graph that supports iterative analysis of the communication-chain data.
