Re: Single model or framework for reputation/trust

This thread tends to turn this into a discussion of trust, in which
case I strongly suggest that we start by defining trust, before we
start manipulating values of undefined trust in some kinds of
mathematical or statistical operations.

Are you concerned about the Qualification of information used in your
trust evaluations?  And who's determination of quality shall be used for
each piece of aggregated information?  And then for the aggregation?

In short, how do you define trust, other than as a personal feeling. 
What do you get when you aggregate personal feelings? 
Do you use statistical methods?

In short, what is our foundation for this work.

Cheers...\Stef
