Er wordt wat af-ge-o.us-t! Eerst was er del.icio.us, toen spid.ero.us en nu ook fac.etio.usIk heb al eens iets over faceted navigatie gemeld. Het komt er op neer dat een item uit meer dan één invalshoek benaderd kan worden. Bij fac.etio.us draait het om ‘faceted classificatie’ van informatie:

Faceted classification assigns a set of parameters (facets) to the objects it’s classifying and then lets users sort them using the facets in any order. For example, appointments in your calendar might have facets for time, date, person, location, subject, and importance. You could then ask to sort first by person, then by location, and then by date, and a minute later walk through them by importance, then date, then subject, etc. In short, faceted classification systems let you construct trees with the roots and branches in whatever order suits you at that moment. And faceted systems never lead you down branches that have no fruit.
