Dear Anne,
igraph assigns no prescribed semantics to edge weights, they are just numbers.
Some of the igraph methods interpret them as distances (e.g., the shortest path
functions), others interpret them as similarities (e.g., the community
detection functions). So, it all depends on which functions you are planning to
use.
