hi, what's at the core of our implementation of facetted browsing for rdf data are some bindings of a sparql query (the bindings of the sparql query like facetCount, facetPredicate and facetPredicateLabel are the interface, this way we are extremely flexible regarding the data that is presented). we created a system that handles such queries so our facetted browser is merely a manager of sparql queries. here's an example [1] of a facetted search for a given document corpus (note: that this example doesn't include a rdf description of the search result itself). wkr j [1] http://workingontologist.poolparty.biz/SparqlFacets/ | Jürgen Jakobitsch, | Software Developer | Semantic Web Company GmbH | Mariahilfer Straße 70 / Neubaugasse 1, Top 8 | A - 1070 Wien, Austria | Mob +43 676 62 12 710 | Fax +43.1.402 12 35 - 22 COMPANY INFORMATION | web : http://www.semantic-web.at/ | foaf : http://company.semantic-web.at/person/juergen_jakobitsch PERSONAL INFORMATION | web : http://www.turnguard.com | foaf : http://www.turnguard.com/turnguard | g+ : https://plus.google.com/111233759991616358206/posts | skype : jakobitsch-punkt | xmlns:tg = "http://www.turnguard.com/turnguard#" 2015-04-22 1:42 GMT+02:00 David Booth <david@dbooth.org>: > 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.
