Advanced semantic analysis
Deeper signals for content research, entity SEO and topical coverage. The plain-language headings explain what each technical view is useful for.
Map overview Semantic statistics
Number of nodes, edges, triples, density and central hubs. Use it to gauge the size and connectivity of the map.NP (complexity)
How this topic connects Entity context
Quick relationship hints grouped by predicate. Useful for spotting recurring semantic connections around the current entity.See the strongest relationship patterns around the current topic before diving into the raw triples.
Important terminology Word statistics
Frequent words and multi-word phrases across the lead, headings, infobox and body. Useful for terminology coverage.Use these terms to understand the vocabulary surrounding the topic, not as a checklist for keyword stuffing.
