Score
Scores are features of most entities
A Score is included in the campaign (or comment) feature, but it could also be a distinct feature.
It's basically just some range of integer numbers where a small number indicates dislike and a large number indicates liking something. They could be applied to types of countries for instance.
Alternate schemes proposed
A Fixed, Simle range
One idea is to use a seven step system for scores as follows:
- -3 Boycott
- -2 Strong Avoid
- -1 Avoid
- 0 Neutral
- 1 Support
- 2 Strong Support
- 3 Endorse
Variable, relative range
Variations are
- A range from -1 to 1, using real values as score
- A range from -100 to 100 using integers as score
- Other shceme
A fixed range could be converted to a relative range by dividing the score with abs(max) or abs(minimum) and multiplying it by the the maximum value of the fixed range
