My understanding of it is that the terms should be exclusive to a single facet. Content should be indexed with appropriate terms from a variety of facets, which is where the power of faceted searching comes from by triangulating on your target content. -David >>> [email protected] 01/22/04 02:44PM >>> Hi, I've been wondering why is it recommended that the facets have to be mutually exclusive? Is it to prevent user confusion? I think there are some scenarios where not mutually exclusive facets might be needed, for instance if I have this two facets: Performance: Response time Memory usage CPU usage Development process: Object oriented Aspect oriented Functional Say now that a document shows how to reduce the response time from an object oriented point of view. Then the same document belongs to the two facets... Does this mean that these facets are wrong and must be redesigned? -- Vinko Vrsalovic <el[|-@-|]vinko.cl> http://www.cprsig.cl ---------- Thanks for playing. ------------------------ Yahoo!
