A search request is received at an information retrieval system. A repository of objects are searched for relevant objects based upon the search request. Parties are identified as parties who interacted with or are mentioned within the relevant objects. A relation score is determined for each pair of parties. A map is created based upon the relation scores of all the pairs of parties. The map is displayed such that the relation scores of the pairs of parties are shown. The determination of the relation score can be weighted by each relevant object's relevancy score. The relation score can also be dependent upon the each party's interactions with or mentions within the relevant objects, and the time lapse between one party's the interaction with or mention within a relevant object, and that of another party.
