The meaning of weight for an edge depends upon your application.

If you're doing a mapping application, weight frequently represents a
value-judgement about that edge versus another combination of edges
(frequently a mix of distance and trip time).  Thus if AB is weighted at
0.5, BC is weighted at 0.5, and AC is weighted at 0.2, it may make more
sense to take the longer path (A->B->C) rather than the direct path (A->C).

If you're doing a social network application, weight is frequently
equivalent to reliability or strength of relationship.  If Alice is a
friend (0.8) of Bob, and Bob is a friend (0.2) of Charlie, then Alice is
likely to have more influence over Bob than Charlie.
