You really didn't make it clear in the initial announcement. Much better, nice job! Certainly a plus on the intuitive side relative to: http://dbpedia.org/fct, but I would be interested in why you couldn't put this face on top of the /fct endpoint (REST or SOAP based service) and then leverage the sophistication it offers. Examples: 1. optional sameAs and IFP based data expansion/explosion/smushing/meshing 2. anytime query feature - ability to retry within configurable response time while horizontally partitioned aggregation works in background 3. ability let the user choose the ontology that drives the faceted navigation rather than being confined to the DBpedia ontology 4. facet labels should be linkeddata URIs too i.e. enable faceted view of the TBox realm Kingsley > > Cheers, > > Christian > > On Sep 22, 2009, at 7:14 PM, Kingsley Idehen wrote: > >> Christian Becker wrote: >>> Hi Kingsley, >>> >>>> Christian, >>>> >>>> I am trying to compare this new Faceted Browsing approach to say: >>>> http://dbpedia.org/fct . >>> >>> I think what makes the new Faceted Browser stand out is its use of >>> the DBpedia ontology for facet selection, which makes it really >>> intuitive to use.
