• A user can rate a document, a list item, or a portal listing  by providing a numeric value on a scale from one to five, along with a comment explaining the choice of rating.
• A user cannot rate his/her own items (Can be turned on or off).
• A user cannot rate a specific item more than once (Can be turned on or off).
• A user can choose to rate an item anonymously. (Planned but currently not implemented for SharePoint 2003)
  
  

• Besides rating an item, the user can reply to other users ratings or simply post a comment about a document or a list item without the numeric rating.
  
  

• The rating for a item is the average of all ratings given.
• The rating for a user is the average of all rated documents, list items, and listings that the user has written or owns.
  
  

• Users can see the average rating and number of votes for list items or listings in list views, areas, or search results 
• Users can sort litems or filter search results using rating.
• A document, a list item, or a listing can have a list of rating and comments associated with it, with each list item displaying the rater's username, rating value, comment, and creation date.
  
  

• "Top Experts" for the site or for the entire portal displays the list of Authors who have been rated highly sorted by the number of points that they have recieved.
• Each expert has a profile displaying average rating in different sites and the entire portal as well as the list of most highly rated items.
  
  

• Users, who have read documents, or list items, but did not rate them, will periodically recieve one email reminder to rate them. (Planned but currently not implemented for SharePoint 2003)
  
  

• Each rating can be assigned a different point value, which determines user's point total. For example a rating of 5 can be 5 points, but the rating of 1 can be -1 points. If the user recieves a rating of 5 and a rating of 1 his point total is going to be 4 (5 + (-1)).
