Abstract

Social ecosystems are growing across the web and social trust networks formed within these systems create an extraordinary test-bed to study relation dependant notions such as trust, reputation and belief. In order to capture, model and represent the semantics of trust relationships forming the trust networks, main components of relationships are represented and described using ontologies. This paper investigates how effective design of trust ontologies can improve the structure of trust networks created and implemented within semantic web-driven social institutions and systems. Based on the context of our research, we represent a trust ontology that captures the semantics of the structure of trust networks based on the context of social institutions and ecosystems on semantic web.
