    Relevance is the concept of one topic being connected to another topic in a way that makes it useful to consider the second topic when considering the first. 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.
