John, Absolutely, I when I said well suited for manakin I meant in the presentation of the rating system using the modularity provided by the framework. So it can be build as an addon aspect without necessarily being integrated into the core of dspace. I've only heard a few whispers about the recommender system that is being developed by HP, but that is a good point that there is some crossover. Perhaps the rating system should feed into the recommender system as a data source. Do you know some contacts George can use to find out more about the these projects and HP and Minho?
However, I can see the purpose and use-case of a rating system distinct from recommender system. Scott-- On Apr 9, 2008, at 1:31 PM, John S.
