I know we would be interested in seeing something for hierarchical facets in the DSpace realm, community/collection hiererachies. Departmental Organization structures retrieved from the MIT data warehouse, in the future, hierarchical policy structures. I could drum up half-a-dozen other examples in DSpace and in general... I've seen that there is a "date" facet thats kinda hierarchical in Longwell, at least its a tree structure, which might be more what your asking for. Maybe its more the case that, not unlike Swing or SWT, that theres a need for model "viewers" of content in the AJAXian realm. Really, these facet viewers remind me of the whole SWT/JFace widgetry in Eclipse (I.E. ListViewers, CheckboxListViewers, TreeViewers, CheckboxTreeViewers, TableViewers, FormViewers ...) the list goes on and on. Cheers, Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
