Object-oriented systems are frequently built around idioms, design patterns, and other abstractions that can be captured only indirectly in source code. The loss of design information in code often impedes later development activities.

Digital libraries commonly elide hierarchical metadata that might be used more effectively. This proposal presents the ResultMap concept, a tool that leverages that metadata for digital library search facilities; an initial study of its effectiveness; the concept of applying ResultMaps to faceted metadata, allowing visual detection of implicit correlations between facets; and proposals for furt...
