[[Relevance (information retrieval)|Relevance]] [[ranking]]s of documents in a keyword search can be calculated, using the assumptions of [[semantic similarity|document similarities]] theory, by comparing the deviation of angles between each document vector and the original query vector where the query is represented as thea samevector kindwith ofsame vectordimension as the vectors that represent the other documents.
 
In practice, it is easier to calculate the [[cosine]] of the angle between the vectors, instead of the angle itself:
