Dear Semantic Web We have developed an Android-based mobile application called Mobile Facets [1] for the interactive faceted search and exploration of a large, distributed social media data set on a touchscreen mobile phone. As social media data sources we use DBpedia, geo-located Flickr photos, and the event directories Eventful and Upcoming. In addition, we use professional content from the event directories as well as places described in GeoNames. The users can search and explore the dataset by means of facets and retrieve resources like places, persons, organizations, and events. To visualize the result set, the Mobile Facets application provides a map view, result list view, and photo view. As the resources are queried live from the different data sources, we cannot make any assumptions about which facets are provided in a specific user's contextual situation and how many resources Mobile Facets receives. Thus, in contrast to existing approaches, the user interface had to be designed such that it is flexible with respect to the amount and kind of facets and resources retrieved live from the social media data. Screenshots of the application and a 3-minute-video showing Mobile Facets live in action can be found on [1]. The APK of the application for Android-based mobile phones is available upon request.
