+Reputations are first class objects - based on XMLDSig - that can be
 applied to any entity within the OpenPrivacy system. In a sense, all
 objects derive from class reputation. Reputations have several static
 component parts, including:
 
 <ul>
- <li>Identity - a unique identifier (perhaps an MD5 hash?)
- <li>Created - date when this reputation was created
- <li>From - the unique identifier of the assigning party (can be null)
- <li>To - the entity to which this reputation is attached
+ <li>Reference - the entity URI to which this reputation is attached
+ <li>Identity - a unique URL (used for naming and assigning additional reputation)
+ <li>Signature - the signature of the assigning party
 </ul>
 
-Further, reputations have mutable slots that may carry reputations on

+Additional fields may exist that give additional information to the reputation:
 
 <ul>
- <li>Type - a semantic name or type for this reputation
- <li>Value - the subjective value given by the assigner
-</ul>
-
-Note that Type and Value may be URIs that point to terms in a
-well-know ontology. Finally, reputations carry information that makes
-them immutable by third parties and provide other useful capabilities,such
-as non-repudiation:
-
-<ul>
- <li>Modified - date when last updated
- <li>Signature - signed by the creator, and thus can only be modified by

+ <li>Payload - one or more semantic names, types and/or values for this reputation
+ <li>Ontology - provides semantic categorization for the payload
+ <li>KeyInfo - provides direct reference to assigner
+ <li>CreatedDate - date when this reputation was created
+ <li>ExpiryDate - date when this reputation is no longer valid
   <li>Eternity_checksum - persistent, time-stamped value that ensures
       non-repudiation (definition TBD)
 </ul>
