Faceted Metadata Search and Browse
Metadata is information about information: more precisely, it's
structured information about resources. This can be a single
set of hierarchical subject labels, such as a Yahoo or Open Directory Project
category. More often, the metadata has several facets: attributes
in various orthogonal sets of categories. This is often stored in database
record fields and tables, especially for product catalogs.
Examples of faceted metadata include:
- Music catalog: songs have attributes such as artist, title, length, genre,
date...
- Recipes: cuisine, main ingredients, cooking style, holiday...
- Travel site: articles have authors, dates, places, prices...
- Regulatory documents: product and part codes, machine types, expiration
dates...
- Image collection: artist, date, style, type of image, major colors,
theme...
In all these cases, there is no single way to provides navigation for everyone:
users have such disparate needs. One person might want to look through all
the U2 albums, while another is looking for classical guitar or 1940s jazz
releases.
