Current access paradigms for the Web, i.e., direct access via
search engines or database queries and navigational access via
static taxonomies, have recently been criticized because they are
too rigid or simplistic to effectively cope with a large number of
practical search applications. A third paradigm, dynamic taxonomies
and faceted search, focuses on user-centered conceptual
exploration, which is far more frequent in search tasks than
retrieval using exact specification, and has rapidly become
pervasive in modern Web data retrieval, especially in critical
applications such as product selection for e-commerce. It is a
heavily interdisciplinary area, where data modeling, human factors,
logic, inference, and efficient implementations must be dealt with
holistically. Sacco, Tzitzikas, and their contributors provide a
coherent roadmap to dynamic taxonomies and faceted search. The
individual chapters, written by experts in each relevant field and
carefully integrated by the editors, detail aspects like modeling,
schema design, system implementation, search performance, and user
interaction. The basic concepts of each area are introduced, and
advanced topics and recent research are highlighted. An additional
chapter is completely devoted to current and emerging application
areas, including e-commerce, multimedia, multidimensional file
systems, and geographical information systems. The presentation
targets advanced undergraduates, graduate students and researchers
from different areas - from computer science to library and
information science - as well as advanced practitioners. Given that
research results are currently scattered among very different
publications, this volume will allow researchers to get a coherent
and comprehensive picture of the state of the art.
