Hey Kingsley, this is a great demo, thank you! The performance is quite impressive. However, adding new properties for faceted filtering needs getting used to from the usability point of view :-). This leads me to my question: Is there a way to access your server and its faceted Data Explorer back end functionality by a public Web-service? Because we are working in the field of HCI and developing graphical interface for graph-based faceted exploration of RDF data (see www.gFacet.org). So it would be quite interesting to have such a high-performance backend! By the way, I tried to write a comment to the related article in your blog but it didn't work out! I got a message that said my comment need to be reviewed but it never appeared as comment in the blog. Did you receive my comment? I look forward for your reply.
