  Key Concepts: 
  Term weighting is a feature of the SAP BC-SRV-KPR-RET Text Retrieval and Information Extraction component. It is a method of assigning a numerical value to each term in a document, based on its relevance to the document’s content. This numerical value is then used to determine the importance of each term in the document. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Term weighting can be used to improve the accuracy of text retrieval and information extraction. By assigning numerical values to terms, it allows for more precise searches and better results when extracting information from documents. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using term weighting, it is important to consider the context of the document. Different terms may have different weights depending on their relevance to the document’s content. Additionally, it is important to consider the length of the document when assigning weights, as longer documents may require more precise weighting. 
  
  Related Information: 
  Term weighting is related to other text retrieval and information extraction techniques such as keyword search and natural language processing. Additionally, it can be used in conjunction with other methods such as machine learning and artificial intelligence to further improve accuracy.
