Yves, yes in theory it is open ended but a range of +/- 100 would satisfy most use cases. (The vast majority of candidate translations vote counts I have seen to date on are in the 10s range or less, not the 100s). If not then implementers could put in some form of logarithmic mapping with limits at +/- 100. I don't think it is necessary to add another attribute specifically for this at this point. I think it is sufficient just to overload the locQualityPrecisScore as mentioned before, at least for now. On saying that, a standalone voting attribute has merits, since it could capture other information along with the aggregate score such as total '+' counts, total '-' counts which are also useful metrics. However I think that is out of scope for ITS2.0.

So, just to see if I get this right: if, for a given translation, you have 5 'plus' and 12 'minus', your aggregated score will be -7? If that's the case, your system seems to be indeed open-ended and cannot be truly mapped to a range. Therefore I don't think having locQualityPrecisScore as value between -100 and 100 will be more useful than if it's a value between 0 and 100. In both case it wouldn't be interoperable with any of the range-based scores used by other systems. Basically, I think a range-based value can only represent a rating, not a voting system. Maybe we need another attribute altogether that would represent voting? -yves
