Re: Survey on Faceted Browsers for RDF data ?

Pelorus (by Complexible, formerly Clark & Parsia) is another faceted 
browser, and they have a very nice demo here:
http://nasa.clarkparsia.com/

Anzo (by Cambridge Semantics) is another tool that has faceted browsing 
capability.  Hmm, which Anzo?  Unfortunately they seem to have branded 
everything "Anzo" now, so I don't know which Anzo has the faceted 
browsing capability.  :)
