Connections between topic areas Semantic bridges
Semantic bridges connect parts of the graph that would otherwise be more separate. A bridge is a structural signal in this analysis, not a claim that the two topic areas are equivalent.
For FogCam, one of the stronger structural bridges in this analysis connects FogCam with History. Bridges highlight paths between different parts of the map and can reveal research angles that are easy to miss in a flat list.
Number of nodes, edges, triples, density and central hubs. Use it to gauge the size and connectivity of the map.
