1. A computer implemented method of determining a similarity score of a plurality of data records with a target data record, the method comprising the steps of: identifying the target data record from a data record set; identifying data records within the data set having primary and secondary connections with the target record to form a data record map, such records being primary and secondary data records; for at least one of the secondary data records determining an importance value and a relevance value, wherein the importance value is based on interconnections between the secondary data records and other data records in the data map and other data records in the data set, and the relevance value is based on interconnections between the secondary data records and other data records in the data map; and combining the importance value and the relevance value to provide the similarity score, wherein the similarity score allows a user to identify secondary data records that disclose similar concepts.
