# RelevanceThreshold

The minimum percentage relevance that a term must have to the taxonomy to be included in its hierarchy. You can increase the value to enhance the quality of the links between parent and child terms, but this reduces the total number of concepts in the taxonomy. In general, more specific documents (for example, encyclopedic taxonomies) must have a higher `RelevanceThreshold` than more general documents (for example, news taxonomies).
