Dear MacKenzie, I do not see facetted browsing in DSpace. Did I missed something?
By facetted browsing, I mean the service BlackLight proposes that you can see at Stanford Libraries: http://searchworks.stanford.edu/ Please look at the column "Focus your Search". I am planning to work on this issue: * based on my current work about integrating SKOS thesauri and authority list in DSpace: http://gupea.ub.gu.se/dspace/handle/2077/21341 * replacing Lucene by SolR-1.4 for DSpace indexation/retrieval to allow N-Gram searches and Facetted browsing + adding faceted search in the DSpace UI * OR adding custom code above current Lucene implementation to create facet information Thank you for the clue about Fresnel lenses: I am interested to learn more on this. Have a nice day! Christophe MacKenzie Smith a écrit : > I'll take a quick stab at this. > > Both DSpace and Longwell provide a faceted browsing user interface for > navigating metadata.
