Abstract

A method, system and computer program product for providing accurate recipients lists. Keywords (e.g., processor, monitor) in a document (e.g., electronic mail message) are identified. These keywords are tagged, where tagging refers to an index term assigned to a piece of information, such as these keywords. A list of recipients may be provided to be correlated with these tagged keywords. The list of recipients is associated with these tagged keywords thereby providing a predefined recipient list to be used when a subsequent document with these tagged keywords is identified. Furthermore, the user is provided an option to modify this recipient list when a subsequent document containing the tagged keywords associated with the recipient list is identified thereby ensuring an accurate recipient list is used.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for providing accurate recipient lists, the method comprising:
identifying keywords in a document;
tagging said identified keywords in said document in response to receiving permission from a user to tag said identified keywords;
prompting said user to provide a list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
receiving said list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
associating, by a processor, said received list of recipients with said tagged keywords; and
identifying a second document containing said tagged keywords.

2. The method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:
providing said list of recipients to said user in response to identifying said second document containing said tagged keywords.

3. The method as recited in claim 1 further comprising:
receiving modifications to said list of recipients in response to identifying said second document containing said tagged keywords.

4. A method for providing accurate recipient lists, the method comprising:
identifying keywords in a document;
tagging said identified keywords in said document in response to receiving permission from a user to tag said identified keywords;
storing said tagged keywords in a list;
prompting said user to provide a list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
receiving said list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords; and
associating, by a processor, said received list of recipients with said tagged keywords.

5. The method as recited in claim 4 , wherein said list comprises multiple sets of tagged keywords that are each associated with a recipient list.

6. A method for providing accurate recipient lists, the method comprising:
identifying a set of recipients that received a notice of content changes to a document;
identifying keywords in said document;
creating, by a processor, a tag of said identified keywords to be associated with said set of recipients; and
updating said tag of said identified keywords with new keywords in response to further changes in content of said document.

7. The method as recited in claim 6 further comprising:
modifying said set of recipients in response to further changes in content of said document.

8. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable storage device for providing accurate recipient lists, the computer program product comprising the programming instructions for:
identifying keywords in a document;
tagging said identified keywords in said document in response to receiving permission from a user to tag said identified keywords;
prompting said user to provide a list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
receiving said list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
associating said received list of recipients with said tagged keywords; and
identifying a second document containing said tagged keywords.

9. The computer program product as recited in claim 8 further comprising the programming instructions for:
providing said list of recipients to said user in response to identifying said second document containing said tagged keywords.

10. The computer program product as recited in claim 8 further comprising the programming instructions for:
receiving modifications to said list of recipients in response to identifying said second document containing said tagged keywords.

11. A computer program product embodied in a computer readable storage device for providing accurate recipient lists, the computer program product comprising the programming instructions for:
identifying keywords in a document;
tagging said identified keywords in said document in response to receiving permission from a user to tag said identified keywords;
storing said tagged keywords in a list;
prompting said user to provide a list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
receiving said list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords; and
associating said received list of recipients with said tagged keywords.

12. The computer program product as recited in claim 11 , wherein said list comprises multiple sets of tagged keywords that are each associated with a recipient list.

13. A system, comprising:
a memory unit for storing a computer program for providing accurate recipient lists; and
a processor coupled to said memory unit, wherein said processor, responsive to said computer program, comprises:
circuitry for identifying keywords in a document;
circuitry for tagging said identified keywords in said document in response to receiving permission from a user to tag said identified keywords;
circuitry for prompting said user to provide a list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
circuitry for receiving said list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
circuitry for associating said received list of recipients with said tagged keywords; and
circuitry for identifying a second document containing said tagged keywords.

14. The system as recited in claim 13 , wherein said processor further comprises:
circuitry for providing said list of recipients to said user in response to identifying said second document containing said tagged keywords.

15. The system as recited in claim 13 , wherein said processor further comprises:
circuitry for receiving modifications to said list of recipients in response to identifying said second document containing said tagged keywords.

16. A system, comprising:
a memory unit for storing a computer program for providing accurate recipient lists; and
a processor coupled to said memory unit, wherein said processor, responsive to said computer program, comprises:
circuitry for identifying keywords in a document;
circuitry for tagging said identified keywords in said document in response to receiving permission from a user to tag said identified keywords;
circuitry for storing said tagged keywords in a list;
circuitry for prompting said user to provide a list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords;
circuitry for receiving said list of recipients to be correlated with said tagged keywords; and
circuitry for associating said received list of recipients with said tagged keywords.

17. The system as recited in claim 16 , wherein said list comprises multiple sets of tagged keywords that are each associated with a recipient list.
