ISS Policies

Some policies to control the quality of information are:

• Incoming information only comes from one-degree apart friends through subscriptions;
• Friendship requests only come from people x-degrees apart, where x is set by the user (a graph should be created beforehand);
• Friendship requests are viewed as a special channel, where the user can easily see the person's tagcloud, how many degrees separate them and how much they are connected;
• The user may decide to provide services only to people x-degrees apart. This is particularly interesting for resource-demanding services such as Syndicated Search, for example.
