Challenges involved in building ontologies are in terms of time, efforts, skill, and domain specific knowledge. In order to minimize these challenges, one of the major advantages of ontologies is its potential of \u201creuse,\u201d currently supported by various search engines like Swoogle, Ontokhoj. As the number of ontologies that such search engines like Swoogle, OntoKhoj Falcon can find increases, so will the need increase for a proper ranking method to order the returned lists of ontologies in terms of their relevancy to the query which can save a lot of time and effort. This paper deals with analysis of various ontology ranking algorithms. Based on the analysis of different ontology ranking algorithms, a comparative study is done to find out their relative strengths and limitations based on various parameters which provide a significant research direction in ranking of ontologies in semantic web.<\/p>","DOI":"10.4018\/jitwe.2012070104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,26]],"date-time":"2012-11-26T19:39:53Z","timestamp":1353958793000},"page":"55-66","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Comparative Analysis of Ontology Ranking Algorithms"],"prefix":"10.4018","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Vandana","family":"Dhingra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Apeejay Stya University, India"}]},{"given":"Komal","family":"Bhatia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"YMCA University of Science and Technology, India"}]}],"member":"2432","reference":[{"key":"jitwe.2012070104-0","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Alani, H.
