Abstract
In one example, a method may include monitoring contents of communications between a first user and a second user, determining a degree of closeness between the first user and the second user utilizing an ontological model, with the degree of closeness being based at least in part on the contents of communications between the first user and the second user, and updating the degree of closeness based at least in part on a frequency of communications between the first user and the second user.
