Hi all,

We use Exhibit as a facet-based data browser for RDF/N3 data sources on 
Triplify [1]. Since, we don't know the vocabulary used in the data 
sources in advance, we thought it could be nice to have some kind of 
auto-configuration feature in Exhibit.

The auto-configuration should analyze the used properties and property 
values within the data source and create facet filters based on some 
heuristics. E.g., when property values of a certain property take only a 
small number of values this property should be used as a facet. I think 
some similar functionality is implemented in Longwell.

I was searching the docs for any clues on how to start an 
implementation, but the technical architecture of Exhibit does not seem 
to be much documented (or am I wrong)? What's your opinion about such a 
feature? Do you have some hints how an implementation should be 
performed? Is there anybody who would like to work on such a feature?

I already pledged some money for such an implementation on Cofundos.org 
[2] - if some more people do the same maybe this could be an incentive 
for somebody to start an implementation.

Sören
