Abstract :
Reputation systems represent an alternative to help users to create reliable relationships over communities of practice, allowing them to evaluate the individuals´ actions and create their trust networks. ReCoP, a reputation model for communities of practice, was proposed based on the solutions found in virtual environments, in which trust on individuals is important for the setting up of interactions. In this paper, we describe a case study conducted to evaluate the estimative of reputation proposed at ReCoP - meta- evaluation mechanism.
