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.
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 70 structured relationships around Silhak. Examples in this analysis include Silhak → Hangul → 실학 and Silhak → Hanja → 實學. The table shows each extracted connection, where it came from and its confidence.
