TL;DR
As an emerging communication platform, Web 2.0 has led the Internet to become increasingly user-centric and opinion and sentiment information has become increasingly important for both service and product providers and users because it plays an important role in influencing consumer purchasing decisions.
Abstract
As an emerging communication platform, Web 2.0 has led the Internet to become increasingly user-centric. People are participating in and exchanging opinions through online community-based social media, such as discussion boards, Web forums, and blogs. Along with such trends, an increasing amount of user-generated content containing rich opinion and sentiment information has appeared on the Internet. Understanding such opinion and sentiment information has become increasingly important for both service and product providers and users because it plays an important role in influencing consumer purchasing decisions.

Net Overlap Score can be used as a measure of the words degree of membership in the fuzzy category of sentiment: the core adjectives were identified most accurately both by STEP and by human annotators, while the words on the periphery of the category had the lowest scores and were associated with low rates of inter-annotator agreement.
