Abstract
Methods for generating a list of similar organization members are described. In one embodiment, organization information associated with a plurality of members of an organization may be received. The organization information for each one of the plurality of members may include a first element and a second element. A first weight may be assigned to the first element and a second weight may be assigned to the second element. Finally, a plurality of proximity values may be generated based at least in part on the first weight and the second weight. Each one of the plurality of proximity values may be associated with a different one of the plurality of members.

A method for generating a list of similar organization members, comprising:
- generating a proximity value for each one of a plurality of members of an organization, the proximity value based at least in part on a ranking of a plurality of elements associated with each one of the plurality of members;
- receiving a request for one or more similar organization members;
- determining one or more similar organization member based at least in part on a comparison of the proximity values;
- and
- communicating a list comprising the one or more similar organization member.
A method for generating a list of similar components of an organization, comprising the steps of:
- receiving organization information associated with an organization component;
- assigning a first weight to a first element of the organization component;
- assigning a second weight to a second element of the organization component;
- and
- calculating a proximity value for the organization component based at least in part on the first weight and the second weight.
A method for displaying a member of an organization and a list of similar members in the organization, the method comprising:
- displaying information associated with an organization member, the information comprising a plurality of elements;
- generating a similar member request for one or more similar organization members;
- and
- displaying a list of one or more similar organization members, the list of similar organization members based at least in part on a comparison of a plurality of proximity values, each proximity value associated with one of a plurality of organization members.
