Guided exploration on top of RDF

Spectacle:Server is a 100% Java web component (to be deployed in
a web app server like Tomcat/JBoss/SunOne/WebSphere) which offers
high-performance, scalable guided exploration (*) on sets of structured or
unstructured data.

The reason to post on rdf-interest is because you can use
Spectacle:Server as your user's front-end to RDF data which exists in
files or RDF databases like Sesame (http://sesame.aidministrator.nl/). 

The download of Spectacle:Server contains a simple sample in source
code, which connects to a Sesame database and transforms its contents in
an end-user web environment (**). View the results at

* Guided exploration consists of:

	- continuous feedback to the user about the
	  options which limit the amount of matching objects.
	  	-- there is no need for the user to type-in anything.
	  	   Spectacle shows what it knows.
	  	-- eliminates the famous "no hits" behaviour of 
	  	   so many traditional sites
	  	-- enables guided specialization whenever the current
	  	   result set is too large.
	- continuous feedback to the user about the
	  options which lead to alternatives for the current matching
	  objects.

** Because we didn't spend any effort to separate domain knowledge from
   the core RDF model, it's not really targetting end-users ....
