Relevance Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
The concept of relevance is studied in many different fields, including cognitive sciences, logic, and library and information science.

Different theories of knowledge have different implications for what is considered relevant and these fundamental views have implications for all other fields as well.
