I've read this a lot in this group, the term "facet".
I think I know what a facet is in terms of xmlschema 

http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#facets

"[Definition:]  A facet is a single defining aspect of a *value space*.
Generally speaking, each facet characterizes a *value space* along
independent axes or dimensions."

But when used in terms of MarkLogic does it have a different meaning ?
If so where can I go to learn about it.

Thanks for any advise.

Hi Collen,

 Sorry to bother you again.

<book>
<title>Book Title</title>
<chapter>
<title>Chapter Title</title>
</chapter>
</book>

As you suggested for my previous mail I created a Database Field  which
includes
book and excludes chapter to be able to search on Book title alone and
to exclude Chapter title for the search API. I also needed a Facet on
booktitle, looks like I may have to change the XMl structure or else
include a namespace. Could you Please confirm.

Thanks
Pradeep Maddireddy
