Abstract

We outline a Semantic Web approach for considering the impact of context information on the trustworthiness of communication. We show that the contexts of message sender, receiver, and mediating network can have influence on the degree of trust the receiver assigns to a message. We define ontologies to capture context-sensitive messaging and trust, as well as propose trust evaluation functions. We illustrate their usage with rules that determine trust factors of context information.
