suggested enhancements to the above paragraph...

The purpose of this TC is to develop an Open Reputation Management Framework 
(ORMF) that provides:

(a) specification of reputation data representation using common data format(s) 
and/or encoding, and,

(b) specification of the representation of reputation calculation results, and,

(c) specification for exchange of reputation data and reputation calculation 
results.

The framework will not define algorithms for performing a reputation 
calculation. However, it will provide the means for understanding the relevancy 
of a calculation result within a given transaction. The TC's output will enable 
the deployment of distributed reputation systems, any of which can be either 
centralized or decentralized with the ability for aggregators and 
intermediaries to be part of the business model.
