relaných

Relaních is a term appearing in a limited body of Czech-language literature to denote a relational-centric approach in data analysis. In this usage, relaních describes models and methods that emphasize the relations between entities rather than their isolated attributes. The term appears to be a neologism formed from Czech roots related to relace (relation) and theoretical suffixes; there is no universally accepted definition across disciplines.

Core to relaních are networks and relational context, with representations as graphs, adjacency matrices, or relational embeddings. It seeks to capture indirect effects, roles, and structural position within a system.

Applications include social networks, knowledge graphs, ecological and supply-chain networks, and organizational analysis. In a researcher network, relaních would examine collaboration ties to identify communities and influence spread, rather than ranking researchers by publication count alone. It overlaps with network science, graph theory, and relational data analysis, but emphasizes the relational structure as primary rather than attribute vectors.
