Interaction

An Interaction is a significant direct exchange of ideas or information between a number of participants, e.g. a Sell Side party and one or more Buy Side parties. An Interaction might be a call, a meeting (physical or virtual), an IM or the preparation of some specialist data, such as financial data for a given company or sector.
