Re: Single model or framework for reputation/trust

When people talk about "trust" in "trust management" they usually 
mean authorization and authorization management. 

Just to be clear, my comment is not about semantics. Authorization
is a well-defined, objective statement that can be provided, managed, 
enforced and even delegated. Trust is an inter-subjective statement 
that stands behind an authorization. Trust cannot be managed.

BTW, much of the "trust" discussion in these documents could be cleared
at once by using authorization instead of trust (even though "trust" 
has more buzzword appeal).

Cheers,
Ed Gerck
