Dutch term

van die tags (...) verschilt wel de relatieve mate waarin ze voorkomen

Dutch to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc. research report on social tagging
Slechts in één van de vier geteste gevallen is het zo dat er een significante associatie is in de ranking van de gebruikte woorden door leken en experts. Met andere woorden: van die tags die leken en experts allebei gebruiken verschilt wel de relatieve mate waarin ze voorkomen.

(Paragraph in a research report on social tagging)

Good solution, thanks! I wish I could 'relative' out, but it is crucial in this context. I am still considering whether 'the relative extent' is better than 'their relative extent'.

with other words, the relative degree by which those tags are used by both group differs.

From the four tested cases, only in one case, there has been a significant association in the ranking of the used words by the experts and ordinary people, with other words, the relative degree by which the tags are used by both groups of people differs.
