Relationships are represented as Subject → Predicate → Object triples. Confidence describes extraction strength, not the real-world importance of a relationship; lower-confidence rows may be contextual rather than explicit.
TTTA extracted 141 structured relationships around PCC streetcar. Examples in this analysis include PCC streetcar → AAR wheel arrangement → B-B and PCC streetcar → Acceleration → Variable, Automatic 1.5–4.75 mph/s (2.41–7.64 km/(h⋅s)). The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
Concept neighborhoods group terms that sit near one another in the extracted graph. They are useful for discovering adjacent language and context, but proximity does not by itself imply a factual relationship.
The concept neighborhoods around PCC streetcar bring nearby vocabulary together. In this analysis, examples include Cars, Built and Streetcar. Use the clusters to find adjacent concepts and terminology that may deserve separate research.
