Abstract
This paper proposes a social reputation management mechanism for modern Web communities, considering the Web 2.0 principles such as friendship ties, share, collaboration and etc. A community is a group of people that have similar topics, so reputation is relevant to the topic. We aggregate the feedbacks, calculate community reputation and overall reputation separately, and then publish them in forms of scores. The case study is conducted to evaluate the reputation model in our Web community management system.
