List, I asked if SemLens and tFacet will be available on google code. Philip replied "tFacet will be on google code in the next weeks. SemLens is not sure yet." Philip thanks, I thought maybe to share with list. Funnily enough it is SemLens that attracts me. I have always thought that a lens is a very powerful and under used visual metaphor. (Because a lens implies the passage of something through it. I think used most powerfully when capturing movement or transition.) My thinking is to use something like SemLens to browse faceted results where I understand faceted results to be objects returned with properties or types enumerated. This seems more intuitive than check box selectors, and leads to discovery in a way that check boxes do not. Anyway it would be a beginning use, but this would not capture movement as I suggest though. Perhaps that depends on the collection of properties? It reminds me of the work at http://cpntools.org/ discussed in many papers including this [1] . The work on Toolglass and Magic Lens by Xerox Parc [2] (Xerox Corporation own the trade marks for these names.) I think there is also the work on e.g. Piccolo from University of Maryland [3], which covers issues associated with lenses.
