All,
Here is the first salvo of what we've been hinting about re. server side
faceted browsing over Unlimited Data within configurable Interactive
Time-frames:
http://b3s.openlinksw.com/fct/facet.vsp
Simple example:
Enter search pattern: Microsoft
You will get the usual result from a full text pattern search.
Click on properties within Navigation section to filter the results such
that you can see the property collection associated with the entity
collection associated with the text search pattern ordered by count in
descending order.
Use "Next" link to page through the properties.
Locate a property of interest and click to select (which just adds it to
the query pattern assembled at the top left of the screen). Repeat using
another property for further filtering.
Click on the URI of the entities revealed by you actions.
Addition information:
This is the Billion Triples linked data corpus.
This is a teaser / precursor to the LOD variant of Virtuoso 6.0 built to
show how a real problem (faceted browsing across large data sets within
interactive processing windows) is addressed using Virtuoso.
The browser is simply using a Virtuoso PL function that also exists in
Web Service form.
Expect additional information via blog posts etc.
Enjoy!
