Internet-Draft Reputation Media Type May 2013
1. Introduction
This document defines a media type for use when answering a
reputation query using the "long form" query defined in
[I-D.REPUTE-QUERY-HTTP], which uses [HTTP].
Also included is the specification for an IANA registry to contain
definitions and symbolic names for known reputation applications and
corresponding response sets.
2. Terminology and Definitions
This section defines terms used in the rest of the document.
2.1. Reputon
A "reputon" is a single independent object containing reputation
information. A particular query about a subject of interest will
receive one or more reputons in response, depending on the nature of
the data collected and reported by the server.
