Automatic concept networks

On the subject of what multi-touch interfaces will be manipulating in the future…

I have recently been working with a company that combines databases together to build ‘social networks’ – to model the way groups of people in society interact. This would be useful within organisations and projects too. If the connections within a project can be generated automatically, they’d be more useful…

I guess there’ll be some sort of three dimensional concept browser that will represent an individual’s model of their understanding and interaction with a project. Each member of the project would see a different view of the project. This is the sort of thing that will gain from direct (multi-touch-supported) manipulation.
