Abstract: A method of addressing an electric document for transmission over a network includes the step of accessing a knowledge profile, including knowledge terms indicative of a knowledge base of a potential recipient of the electronic document. Based on a predetermined degree of correspondence or correlation between document terms within the electronic document and knowledge terms within the knowledge profile, a decision is made as to whether a potential recipient is identified as a proposed recipient. Following the identification of the proposed recipient, a sender, or author, of the electronic document is prompted to either accept or decline the proposed recipient as actual recipient of the electronic document.
