Size graph nodes by betweenness centrality instead of (or in addition to) link count. BC highlights entries that bridge different topic areas — conceptual connectors — rather than just the most-linked entries.

  • Compute BC on the graph subgraph returned by the API (client-side via Cytoscape's `betweennessCentrality()`)
  • Add a "Size by" toggle in GraphControls: Link Count vs. Betweenness Centrality
  • BC-sized nodes surface "bridging" entries that connect otherwise separate clusters
  • Inspired by InfraNodus (Paranyushkin, WWW'19) which uses BC as the primary node ranking metric for text network analysis.
