Thank you all for the replies and the useful info.
I'll go trough all of them asap and will bother you again if I have some
question :-)

Hi Christian,
To the best of my knowledge you are right, there is not much survey
on faceted browsers. In addition to the works you’ve surveyed, I
would recommend the book in [8], section 4.2. The remaining
references I added comprise tools/models for faceted search.
Please let me know about your advances. I'm very interested in
faceted browsing.
Best Regards,
Thiago

Hi Christian,
My PhD student Thiago Nunes is working on something related - a
model-based framework for data exploration. You can see a
partial description of the work in the same IESD'14 proceedings
[1]. It is aimed at a generalization of faceted browsers, i.e.
it considers a broader class of exploratory environments, of
which faceted browsers are just a particular case.
As part of his work, he has analyzed several environments
including faceted ones, in a systematic way that allows
comparing functionalities using a reference model. He has
covered several of the ones you mention, plus several you didn't
include. The survey you mention doesn't include several browsers
reported in the literature, including Explorator [2] and
RExplorator [3].
In addition, in this evaluation, there is a clear separation
between interface functionality and exploration functionalities,
each of which require different models, criteria and processes
do be used in performing evaluations.
I've asked Thiago to complement this info with more details.
Cheers
D

Hi all,
I
I'm doing some research to get a comprehensive (as much as
possible) view on what faceted browsers are out there today
for RDF data and what features they offer.
I collected a lot of links to papers, web sites and demos...
but I found very few comparison/survey papers about this
specific topic. [1] contains a section on faceted browsers,
but not so exhaustive, [2] mentions some interesting systems
but is a bit outdated.
So, my questions are:
1) Do someone know a better paper/resource I can look at for a
survey?
2) Is someone currently working on a survey like this?
3) Does someone have notable additions to my list? (pasted at
the end of the mail)
At this stage I'm interested in both: automatic and
configuration based browsers, free and commercial products,
hierarchical and flat facets, "simple" and pivoting.
thank you in advance
best,
Christian
