Centrality
Within the scope of graph theory and network analysis, there are various types of measures of the centrality of a vertex within a graph that determine the relative importance of a vertex within the graph (i.e. how influential a person is within a social network, or, in the theory of space syntax, how important a room is within a building or how well-used a road is within an urban network). Many of the centrality concepts were first developed in social network analysis, and many of the terms used to measure centrality reflect their sociological origin.

Famous quotes containing the word centrality:
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
