“…Semantic Web is an evolving extension of the Web in which the semantics of information and service on the web is defined [Lee 2007], which enables information not only to be process able by people but as well as machine. At its core the semantic web framework compromises a set of design standards and technologies.…”

Ranking models are used by Web search engines to answer user queries based on key words. Traditionally ranking models are based on a static snapshot of the Web graph, which is basically the link structure of the Web documents. The visitor's browsing activities is directly related to importance of the document. However in this traditional static model the document importance on account of interactive browsing is neglected. Thus this model lacks the ability of taking advantage of user interaction for document ranking. In this paper we propose a model based on semantic web to improve the local ranking of the Web documents. This model works on Ant Colony algorithm to enable the Web servers to interact with Web surfers and thus improve the local ranking of Web documents. The local ranking then can be used to generate the global Web ranking.

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to examine the role that information and communication technologies (ICT) maturity plays in the achievement of global competitiveness at the country level. The paper investigates the socio-economic and technological factors that are most likely to be associated with ICT maturity, and then assesses their role in driving the global competitiveness wheel forward. Design/methodology/approach -Secondary data were used, based on data sets generated by the World Bank, World Economic Forum, and UNESCO for the years 2003-2007. The countries common to all reports were included, yielding a study sample of 93 cases. Cluster analysis was used to categorize countries in terms of ICT usage, readiness, and environment. Structural equation modeling was used to test the fit of a model employing these factors. Findings -First, it was found that ICT plays an important role in driving a country's global competitiveness forward, with a stronger relationship existing in high readiness countries than in low readiness countries. Second, ICT maturity was found to mediate the relationship between ICT quality and R&D spending on one hand and global competitiveness on the other. Finally, the relationship between R&D spending and global competitiveness was found to be stronger for low readiness countries than for high readiness countries. Practical implications -The paper's findings provide insights to managers and government policy makers regarding the effects of economic, social and technological factors on ICT maturity, as well as the relationship between ICT maturity and global competitiveness. Such insights can influence the standards, programs, and strategies that governments implement in order to attain and maintain global competitiveness. Originality/value -The paper presents a holistic model that depicts the ICT maturity factors and their dynamic contributions to global competitiveness. Despite the considerable contributions of existing research in this domain, there is a lack of substantive research that examines the relationship at the country level between ICT maturity and its indicators on one hand and global competitiveness on the other. The paper is an attempt to fill this gap.
