A method and system to select one or more participants in an online collaborative process are provided. The method includes receiving selection information and identifying a potential list of the participants from an information system based on the selection information, the information system containing transaction data relating to prior collaboration processes with the participants. In particular, the method establishes trust parameters for each of the participants, the trust parameters representing at least qualifications, credentials or trustworthiness properties of the participants. The establishing of trust parameters includes identifying the trust parameters and quantifying the trust parameters. The trust parameters are identified by performing a search for relevant ones of the transaction data that matches the selection information, the selection information relates to trustworthiness properties of the participants. The trust parameters are further quantified by applying the relevant ones of the transaction data with statistical algorithm to compute a value that measures the trustworthiness properties of the participants.
