Last week I saw a post on the IETF Announcement List seeking feedback on the possible formation of a “Reputation Services” working group. That posting has more information, but the basic abstract is posted below. Now I will admit up front that I tend to see the world through librarian-colored glasses, but creating a mechanism that helps uses make a “meaningful choice about the handling of content requires an assessment of its safety or ‘trustworthiness’” sounds like something librarians should be involved with.
