Abstract
The assessing of collaboration time includes the extraction of collaboration data from collaborators and storing the collaboration data as a dataset. Attributes for each of the collaborators is defined, and a group of collaborators is defined by filtering based on the attributes. For the dataset, collaboration time is assigned for each member of the group using the collaboration data. Data from certain activities by collaborators are mined as representative of the collaboration activities, and in combination with organizational structure data, time is allocated between people, teams, and companies for the purpose of assessing organizational productivity and effectiveness. No manual data gathering or imposition on collaborators to provided data is required. Real data for the collaborative activities are used, instead of self-reported data. This provides a more granular picture of how time is allocated to relationships and activities than could be gathered manually.
