Trust, but Verify: Trusted Data Sharing in Long-tail Collaborative Science on the Semantic Web

The aim of this research is to investigate the application of computational trust techniques to facilitate the sharing of semantically rich scientific resources in the open Semantic Web. As scientific practice continues to shift to the Web, users must make decisions regarding the trustworthiness of content, people and services in a large scale, distributed and anonymous system where there is a wide spectrum of moderation and control.
