Abstract: Ranking plays important role in contemporary information search and 
retrieval systems. Among existing ranking algorithms, link analysis based 
algorithms have been proved to be effective for ranking documents retrieved 
from large-scale text repositories such as the current Web. Recent 
developments in semantic Web raise considerable interest in designing new 
ranking paradigms for various semantic search applications. While ranking 
methods in this context exist, they have not gained much popularity. in this 
article we introduce the idea of the "Rational Research" model which reflects 
search behaviour of a "rational" researcher in a scientific research 
environment, and propose the RareRank algorithm for ranking entities in 
semantic search systems, in particular, we focus on elaborating the rationale 
and implementation of the algorithm. Experiments are performed using the 
RareRank algorithm and the results are evaluated by domain experts using 
popular ranking performance measures. A comparison study with existing link-
based ranking algorithms reveals the benefits of the proposed method. (C)
