Scott, John I see the difference between the recommender system, developed by HP, and a rating system we are thinking about (and we are currently only thinking about it, it may be that the project would be happy with the recommender system) as:
1) In a rating system privileged users input the rating/scores, whereas in the recommender system the ratings are calculated by the system. 2) A user comment would be associated with each rating in a rating system. Is there any release date for the recommender system?
