Towards Context-Aware Service-Oriented Semantic Reputation Framework

Reputation has been explored in diverse disciplines such as artificial intelligence, electronic commerce, peer-to-peer network, and multi-agent systems. Recently it has been a vital component for ensuring trust in web services and service oriented architecture domains. In this paper, we show details about our context-aware reputation framework. The framework is based on our semantic representation model for reputation called Reputation Object (RO) model. We discuss the advantages and propositions to construct such framework, its components, and how it is implemented. The importance of developing and using such generic reputation framework is highlighted within the emergence of the Semantic Web and service oriented architecture.
