ABSTRACT
The widely used paradigm of faceted browsing is limited by the fact that only one query and result set are displayed at a time. This demonstrator introduces an interaction design for parallel faceted browsing that makes it easy for a user to construct and view the results of multiple interrelated queries. The paradigm offers general benefits for a variety of application areas.

Widgets for Faceted Browsing
Proceedings of the Symposium on Human Interface 2009 on ConferenceUniversal Access in Human-Computer Interaction. Part I: Held as Part of HCI International 2009Faceted Browsing, also known as Faceted Search, recently became a popular interface paradigm and is used as a visual selection mechanism to browse data collections. It is particularly suitable for structured, but heterogeneous data with explicit ...

WWW '10: Proceedings of the 19th international conference on World wide webThis paper describes MediaFaces, a system that enables faceted exploration of media collections. The system processes semi-structured information sources to extract objects and facets, e.g. the relationships between two objects. Next, we rank the facets ...
