Different meanings can be attributed to the concept of trust (see Lerch and Prietula, 1989; P. Oerbaek, 1995; March, 1994; Thompson, 1984). We can understand trust as an attitude of an agent who believes that another agent has a given property. So, we can analyse the meaning of trust as function of the attributed property.
