Re: [orms] Aggregation of Pseudonym reputation into Real name reputation

[Nat Sakimura <n-sakimura@nri.co.jp>]

Aggregating reputation related data would not be so hard from the technical point of view.
As you say, how much trust the aggregate can put on the gathered data is a hard question to solve.
However, that is the realm of the reputation calculation since it is the discounting of the data based on the trust level.

Doing reputation calculation right is a challenge. That is why we left it out of scope for the time being.

It is how to accomplish it in practice - in a way that all the necessary
parties will trust -- that is the challenge.

Subject: [orms] Aggregation of Pseudonym reputation into Real name
reputation

This use case / requirement was derived from the comment to my blog by
George.

Reputor: Various People
Reputee: Alice, with various pseudonyms.

Alice uses various pseudonyms depending on where she goes. She earns
reputation on each pseudonyms. She does not want to reveal her real
identity at each sites nor wishes to be correlated, but wishes to
aggregate those earned reputation so that she can use it as the reputation
of her real name identity, Alice.

For this, Alice's reputation agency needs to collect reputation related
data from each of the sites where she is recognized as somebody else than
Alice, and aggregate them.

Thoughts?
