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. :) David Booth On 01/25/2015 02:08 PM, Christian Morbidoni wrote: > Thank you all for the replies and the useful info. > I'll go trough all of them asap and will bother you again if I have some > question :-) > > best, > > Christian > > On Fri, Jan 23, 2015 at 6:08 PM, Thiago Nunes <thiagorinu@gmail.com > <mailto:thiagorinu@gmail.com>> wrote: > > Hi Christian, > > To the best of my knowledge you are right, there is not much survey > on faceted browsers.
