1. A method comprising:
- representing a relationship between a first entity and a second entity as an edge that connects a first node to a second node, wherein the first node and the second node respectively represent said first entity and said second entity; and
assigning a weight value or type to said edge based on an association level detected between the first entity and the second entity.
