Localrelated
Localrelated is a term used to describe relationships or associations that are constrained to a limited local scope within data, graphs, or systems. It emphasizes context-specific relatedness rather than broad, global connections. In practice, localrelated relations are defined by a neighborhood or geographic or logical boundary, such as items nearby in a dataset, devices within a subnet, or entities within the same region of a graph.
The term combines locality and relatedness; it is not universally standardized, but appears in discussions of
Applications of localrelated concepts span several domains. In geospatial analysis, they describe proximity between facilities or
Measurement and methods for localrelated relationships typically define neighborhoods by distance thresholds, k-nearest neighbors, local similarity
Advantages of embracing a localrelated perspective include improved interpretability, scalability, and robustness in sparse data scenarios,
