I'm sure there's exceptions which would break this, but it's a start /Terry On Dec 12, 2007 5:35 PM, Mark Feblowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > This kind of facet hierarchy would work for me, so long as the > hierarchies are not constrained to be trees (i.e., and DAG will do), > to preserve the ability for a thing to be multiply categorized (like > Protege OWL handles its classes in the class browser). > > Of course, the presentations will be important.
