Nowadays, more and more research has focused on the trust management of the Semantic Web. Some mature technologies from many fields such as multiagent systems, social network analysis and artificial intelligence have been introduced to this field. However, some unique characteristics of the Semantic Web are more or less ignored. In this paper, we try to explore the semantic aspects of the trust management. We present DartTrust, a trust prototype for the semantic web in the application context of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). We introduce RCSW - a Reputation-Chain trust model for the Semantic Web, which incorporates pairwise trust factor and reliable factor and constructs an edge-weighted graph to calculate trust ratings. We define a small trust ontology to illustrate the trust relationships. The trust ontology is described in OWL that can be understood and processed by machines. Therefore, DartTrust can provide reasoning functions and facilitate trust management with little human effort. As a demonstration of the prototype, we present its implementation on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) at the end of this paper.
