Pine, 

Thanks for your clarification on the authentication.  

Yes, in the Web Service security world, the word "credential" is used for authentication. The service, base on the credential presented in SOAP header, makes the authentication decision for each request message. In EERP, the rating of a service is to show the credibility of a service from a given service provider.  When there are many service providers who provide same type of the service, the rating of the service will tell which provider is better than other services by how many credentials are present by each service provider. 

We will modify the EERP Rating spec for this clarification, and add some text like this: "Credentials may be issued with respect to a service provider and service by organizations regulating the service such as licenses, permissions, certifications, awards, associations, and affiliations. This is not the credential for authentication in the security term. Instead, they are credentials that the service provider wishes to shown its credibility for providing the service."

The rating service is provided by a rating service provider.   For the same type of services, the rating service provider will give a rating number for each service provider for the service that it provides.  Rating service provider is a special business which rates the services for each service providers and provides the results to the interested party.

Best regards, 


Andy Lee,
