Using People Metadata

(past, present, future) Much of this has time-based (meta) data brainstorm overlaps...we can form a GUI from the relationship between categories. If calendar info says two people were at Gnome summit, then that creates an interaction

• Addresses are manually input. Can be inferred/learned
• What users want to do with this info/metadata
  • Communicate with an individual
    • IM, email, meet, talk, voip
    • VNC collaboration
      • interactive presentations hands-on tutorial, interactive demonstration
    • Considerations:
      • localtime/availability
        • don't call while sleeping

Context

• context based searches? when was it written, who did you work on this with

• who

• what

• when

  Decided against: Context is way too application-specific -- we should expose the data, and let the apps do what they need to with it
