Report on the Models of Trust for the Web Workshop (MTW'06)

摘要

The Web and its evolving infrastructure have made it easy to access virtually all of the world's knowledge and is the first source to which most of us turn when we need to know something. Search engines and other tools have focused on finding information relevant to users' queries with results ranked at best by their popularity. As it becomes easier to publish information on the Web, it is increasingly important to develop good frameworks for evaluating the trustworthiness of the information found. The papers from the WWW'06 Models of Trust for the Web workshop addressed these issues, identified important issues, and offered some partial solutions.
