Asset weight is a measure of a topic. It is proportional to a number of occurrences and associations of the topic and topic's immediate neighbors. Asset weight measure has been developed by Petra Haluzová of Department of Informatics and Telecommunication, Czech Technical University, Prague. Asset weight measure is described in detail in her TMRA'10 conference paper Evaluation of Instances Asset in a Topic Maps Ontology.

Wandora has a feature that is used to calculate asset weight either for an entire layer stack, for a selected layer or for current topic selection. Feature target is selected implicitly by the context in which the feature is started. Wandora user can open asset weight dialog window by selecting top menu option Layers > Statistics > Asset weights..., layer context menu option Statistics > Asset weights..., and topic selection context menu option Topics > Statistics > Asset weights....
