Comparison of Ontology Ranking Algorithms on Semantic Web

Abstract: Semantic Web is the representation of knowledge which consists of a huge amount of ontologies. Ontologies provide an efficient way to reduce the amount of information overload by defining the structure of a specific domain and enabling easier access to the information. Ontology search can prove its excellence only when the retrieval involves highly relevant information based on the user�s query. The ranking method increases the scope of knowledge searching in ontology-driven searches. This paper reviews most of the ontology ranking methods used, which will help researchers to proceed further.

Keywords: Semantic web, Semantic search, ontology, ontology ranking.
