Surface entries that "punch above their weight" — high influence (betweenness centrality or PageRank) relative to their link count. These are entries with outsized connective importance despite being lightly linked.

  • Compute influence ratio: BC (or PageRank) normalized by link count
  • Add an "Entrance Points" or "Key Connectors" view that ranks entries by this ratio
  • Highlight top influence-per-occurrence entries on the graph with a distinct border or glow
  • Useful for identifying entries that deserve more attention or expansion
  • Inspired by InfraNodus (Paranyushkin, WWW'19) "entrance points" concept — nodes with high influence per occurrence that serve as key access points into the discourse.
