ABSTRACT:
A method and system for determining a ratee reputation of an entity based at least in part on the rater reputation of one or more of the entities that have rated the rated entity. A ratee reputation of a first entity is determined. A first rating of the first entity by a second entity is received. One or more rater reputations including a first rater reputation of the second entity as a qualitative rater of other entities are accessed, and a ratee reputation of the first entity is generated by combining the one or more rater reputations and the first rating.
