Searching and ranking in RDF documents and social networks

Description
As semantic web based applications are gaining popularity,
very large RDF documents are becoming common. SPARQL
is the de-facto standard in querying RDF data and research
on efficient implementations of SPARQL interfaces for very
large RDF graphs has attracted a great deal of interest in
the recent years. However, in large datasets, the user faces
the problem that the result set for her queries can be large.
In this situation there is no clear for the user, from where
to start looking at the results, since all of them are equally
valid. Moreover, given the result of a SPARQL query, the
only possible order is lexicographical which doesn’t help the
user to distinguish which of the returned values should she
look first. In this sense, it would be desirable to have a notion
of “relevance” of nodes. A related problem is that of
analyzing social network data. Most social network analysis
concentrates heavily on finding social groups and finding
the importance of individuals in a social network. However,
this work generally considers the social network as a graph
with a single type of connection, edges representing the existence
of social communication or friendship for example.
There are not many methods developed for social networks
with many different types of semantic connections. As a
result, there is very little work on querying of semantically
rich social network data.
