Claim Text:
1. A computer implemented method for normalized ranking of semantic query search results, the method comprising: forming a SPARQL query comprising one or more graph patterns and specifying a collection of named RDF graphs; executing, by a computer, the SPARQL query to retrieve at least one match corresponding to at least one of the named RDF graphs; calculating a normalized score for a match of the at least one match corresponding to a named RDF graph of the at least one of the named RDF graphs, wherein the normalized score is calculated based at least in part upon a graph pattern of the one or more graph patterns, and the calculating comprises counting a number n where the number n is a number of triple patterns specified in the graph pattern; and ranking SPARQL query results based at least in part upon the normalized score for the match corresponding to the named RDF graph.
