The ElectroAcoustic Music Resource Site (EARS, www.ears.dmu.ac.uk) research team has completed a major phase of development and is about to embark on its further internationalisation as well as the creation of a significant new multi-faceted resource for people of all ages, in particular young people, who have little to no experience with this diverse musical corpus. This paper summarises the p...

Indexing and retrieval in Web catalogs can benefit from using faceted taxonomies. A faceted taxonomy consists of a set of facets, where each facet consists of a predefined set of terms structured by a subsumption relation. We propose two extensions of faceted taxonomies, which allow inferring conjunctions of terms that are valid in the underlying domain. We give a model-theoretic interpretation...

This study examined a large number of searches conducted when the users are interacting with two Endeca-based faceted library catalogs (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill [UNC] Library catalog and Phoenix Public Library [PPL] catalog). The goal is to investigate people’s search tactics with the faceted catalogs in an academic library and a public library environment. Two large data set...

When an application fails to ensure information flow security, it may leak sensitive data such as passwords, credit card numbers, or medical records. News stories of such failures abound. Austin and Flanagan [2012] introduce faceted values – values that present different behavior according to the privileges of the observer – as a dynamic approach to enforcing information flow policies for an un...
