The semantic web is a technology to save data in a machine-readable format that facilitates machines to intelligently match that data with related data based on meanings. Whilst this approach is being adopted and implemented by some large organisations there is a need for an effective semantic search engine to maximise the full potential of that semantic web. A major difficulty is that the search experience is dependent on a number of elements including a user-friendly interface, a strong query language processor, a result optimiser, result ranking and the use of appropriate data structures to store data. Apart from the technical aspects related to implementation, a strategy to prioritise these elements is needed to optimize and enhance the search experience over the semantic web. The purpose of this work is to investigate some relevant issues on querying the semantic web in a context of semantic search engines, and propose a framework that facilitates an effective search over the semantic web.
