Re: [domainrep] I-D Action: draft-ietf-repute-media-type-03.txt

Hi, folks, I have read this draft and now I am confused by the RATING
(whose definition is in section 3.1). Namely, If the RATING equals 0.5, the
ASSERTION is supported or not by the RATER? Consider this case:

Content-type: application/reputon+json

{

"reputon":

{

"rater": "RatingsRUs.example.com",

"rater-authenticity": 1.0,

"assertion": "IS-GOOD",

"rated": "Alex Rodriguez",

"rating": 0.5,

"sample-size": 50000

}

}
…indicates that we are absolutely *sure* (1.0) that the entity "
RatingsRUs.example.com" consolidated 50000 data points (perhaps from
everyone in Yankee Stadium) and concluded that Alex Rodriguez may be *good*
or be *bad* (0.5) at something. Besides, if "rater-authenticity" equals 0.5
but "rating" equals 1.0, it is also very hard to understand.
