Faceted based search is an increasingly common part of search interfaces. This study examines the use of a library catalog search interface which supports but text searching and faceted based searching. Log analysis is performed of library catalog search records to analyze how and when faceted based searching is used in conjunction with text based searching. The logs are from the Triangle Resea...

Faceted 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 semantics. As the amount of this data will grow in respect to a rising Semantic Web, it is worth looking at the current state of Faceted Browsers. In t...

This paper presents findings from a survey conducted with formerly incarcerated individuals on their experiences of food and systems within federal prisons in Canada. Beyond affirming the many problems quality quantity provided to individuals, discussed this article highlight multi-faceted paradoxical role behind bars. Food was tool punishment site conflict, yet it simultaneously provides an im...

ABSTRACT Upcoming radio interferometers are aiming to image the sky at new levels of resolution and sensitivity, with wide-band cubes reaching close petabyte scale for SKA. Modern proximal optimization algorithms have shown a potential significantly outperform clean thanks their ability inject complex models regularize inverse problem formation from visibility data. They were also be paralleliz...

Faceted search is the de facto query paradigm in e-commerce and it has been recently adapted for the Semantic Web. In this demonstration we present our faceted search system SemFacet and show how it can enhance access to RDF and OWL 2 datasets and OWL 2 ontologies in the domain of life sciences. SemFacet combines keyword and faceted search and it is based on a solid theory, in particular it emp...

In the last few years, Twitter has become a powerful tool for publishing and discussing information. Yet, content exploration in Twitter requires substantial efforts and users often have to scan information streams by hand. In this paper, we approach this problem by means of faceted search. We propose strategies for inferring facets and facet values on Twitter by enriching the semantics of indi...

Data on the Semantic Web is semi-structured and does not follow one fixed schema. Faceted browsing [23] is a natural technique for navigating such data, partitioning the information space into orthogonal conceptual dimensions. Current faceted interfaces are manually constructed and have limited query expressiveness. We develop an expressive faceted interface for semi-structured data and formall...

Reuse is an important means of reducing costs and effort during the development of complex software systems. A major challenge is to find suitable components in a large library with reasonable effort. This becomes even harder in today’s development practice where a variety of artefacts such as models and documents play an equally important role as source code. Thus, different types of heterogen...

We live in an information age that requires us, more than ever, to represent, access, and use information. Over the last several decades, we have developed a modern science and technology for information retrieval, relentlessly pursuing the vision of a “memex” that Vannevar Bush proposed in his seminal article, “As We May Think.” Faceted search plays a key role in this program. Faceted search a...
