Abstract

A system is described for generating a graphical representation of a mapping of post data of a posting. In various aspects, post data may be collected which may include a first node of a plurality of nodes identifying a submitting user of the one or more document management systems. Reaction data may be collected which may include a second node of the plurality of nodes identifying a reacting user of the one or more document management systems. The mapping may then be generated from the post data and the reaction data, in which the mapping may include the first node and the second node. The graphical representation of the mapping may then be generated, wherein zooming out of the graphical representation may filter out one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes based on a number of edges corresponding to the one or more nodes.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A computer system for generating a graphical representation of a mapping of post data, the computer system comprising one or more processors and a memory configured to store instructions, the instructions executed by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to:
periodically generate a mapping of post data of a posting from one or more document management systems to reaction data associated with the posting, wherein the post data includes a first node of a plurality of nodes identifying a submitting user of the posting and the reaction data includes a second node of the plurality of nodes identifying a reacting user that reacted to the posting; and generate the graphical representation of the mapping, wherein zooming out of the graphical representation filters out one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes based on a number of edges corresponding to the one or more nodes, and wherein the one or more nodes reappear on the graphical representation in response to zooming in on the graphical representation.

2 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping further includes a third node of the plurality of nodes associated with an influential user of the one or more document management systems, the influential user having two or more edges, and wherein at least one of the one or more document management systems pushes a communication of the influential user to other users associated with a company.

3 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the mapping further includes a fourth node of the plurality of nodes associated with a low-level user, the low-level user having less than two edges, and wherein at least one of the document management systems pushes a communication to the low-level user, wherein the communication requests the low-level user to submit a second posting.

4 . The computer system of claim 1 further configured to:
identify one or more categories associated with less than a threshold number of posts; and
generate an electronic survey, the electronic survey sent to one or more users of the one or more document management systems, wherein the electronic survey requests data associated with the one or more categories from the one or more users.

5 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the reacting user reacted to the posting by submitting a comment to the posting.

6 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes of the graphical representation of the mapping have a node size based on a number of edges corresponding to the one or more nodes.

7 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more document management systems store the mapping in a remote database.

8 . The computer system of claim 1 , wherein periodically generating the mapping of post data of the posting includes generating a first mapping of post data of the posting, and generating a second mapping of post data based on the first mapping.

9 . A computer-implemented method for generating a graphical representation of a mapping of post data using one or more processors, the method comprising:
periodically generating a mapping of post data of a posting from one or more document management systems to reaction data associated with the posting, wherein the post data includes a first node of a plurality of nodes identifying a submitting user of the posting and the reaction data includes a second node of the plurality of nodes identifying a reacting user that reacted to the posting; and generating the graphical representation of the mapping, wherein zooming out of the graphical representation filters out one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes based on a number of edges corresponding to the one or more nodes, and wherein the one or more nodes reappear on the graphical representation in response to zooming in on the graphical representation.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the mapping further includes a third node of the plurality of nodes associated with an influential user of the one or more document management systems, the influential user having two or more edges, and wherein at least one of the one or more document management systems pushes a communication of the influential user to other users associated with a company.

11 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the mapping further includes a fourth node of the plurality of nodes associated with a low-level user, the low-level user having less than two edges, and wherein at least one of the document management systems pushes a communication to the low-level user, wherein the communication requests the low-level user to submit a second posting.

12 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 further comprising:
identifying one or more categories associated with less than a threshold number of posts; and
generating an electronic survey, the electronic survey sent to one or more users of the one or more document management systems, wherein the electronic survey requests data associated with the one or more categories from the one or more users.

13 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the reacting user reacted to the posting by submitting a comment to the posting.

14 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes of the graphical representation of the mapping have a node size based on a number of edges corresponding to the one or more nodes.

15 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more document management systems store the mapping in a remote database.

16 . The computer-implemented method of claim 9 , wherein periodically generating the mapping of post data of the posting includes generating a first mapping of post data of the posting, and generating a second mapping of post data based on the first mapping.

17 . A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for generating a graphical representation of a mapping of post data, that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, cause the computer system to:
periodically generate a mapping of post data of a posting from one or more document management systems to reaction data associated with the posting, wherein the post data includes a first node of a plurality of nodes identifying a submitting user of the posting and the reaction data includes a second node of the plurality of nodes identifying a reacting user that reacted to the posting; and generate the graphical representation of the mapping, wherein zooming out of the graphical representation filters out one or more nodes of the plurality of nodes based on a number of edges corresponding to the one or more nodes, and wherein the one or more nodes reappear on the graphical representation in response to zooming in on the graphical representation.

18 . The tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the mapping further includes a third node of the plurality of nodes associated with an influential user of the one or more document management systems, the influential user having two or more edges, and wherein at least one of the one or more document management systems pushes a communication of the influential user to other users associated with a company, and if there is a third node, wherein the mapping further includes a fourth node of the plurality of nodes associated with a low-level user, the low-level user having less than two edges, and wherein at least one of the document management systems pushes a
