Re: [orms] What I mean by "Rank"

[Tatsuki Sakushima <tatsuki@nri.com>]

Some services that I examined don't use scores.

Please see them in the RealLifeReputationExample Wiki page.

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/orms/RealLifeReputationExamples

Most of the services express the grades as "stars".
This is typical to merchant sites including Amazon.

I think we need to examine more common use cases
to capture common denominator in features so that
we can expect more adoptions.
