COMMUNITY DIRECTORY

摘要

A system for building a directory of information from members of a community (fig. 2), by distinguishing between members who have historically provided good data and members who have not. A member's data submissions are associated with the member. Corrections to a member's data may result in the system being less likely to accept submissions from that member. More submissions and more usage of the member's data may result in the system being more likely to accept submissions from that member. The system could compensate members with few corrections, many submissions and many references. The present invention considers an embodiment relating to "location directories," which contains items characterized by a geographic location, such as businesses, homes, wireless internet hotspots, events, etc.
