A ranking is a function mapping assigning each object of a set of objects a rank, i.e. a number between 1 and the total number of objects. For convenience, we assume the ranking to be stored in a list. On top of this, we define ranking specific methods to ease the handling of rankings and access ranking-specific information directly.
