What sensemaking do you do, and is there any good tool?

I am working on a data visualisation tool to support sensemaking, which just means making sense of something. Examples are understanding an unfamiliar research field or finding your next holiday destination. This usually involves searching/reading from many sources and reasoning (probably not the best word) with all the discovered information. This goes beyond showing what's interesting in the data, and is usually a quite complex process (for example the Pirolli Card model: http://ccom.unh.edu/vislab/VTDP_web_pages/VTDP_Sensemaking.html).
I am very interested in the actual daily tasks that are relevant to sensemaking, rather than abstracted ones such as information triage and foraging (the tool will support concrete tasks). What sensemaking do you do, and is there any tool for that? It will be ideal if there is an overview survey on people's daily sensemaking tasks.
Thanks.
