An aggregation system performs an aggregation of object attributes and affinities to create a group profile of a plurality of object profiles. The system may be used with an electronic mail inbox that uses a mail agent to categorize incoming electronic mail to facilitate more flexible and rapid review of special types of mail, such as meeting requests. The aggregation system performs an analysis of the participants listed in a meeting request and displays an aggregated profile that provides a “big picture” view of the attributes of the group members as a single entity, thereby enabling the user to get an immediate sense of a group's areas of expertise. The aggregation system may also suggest additional participants with the needed expertise which the user may ignore or invite by simply mailing the meeting request thread thereto.
