faceted results (second try)

["Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress" <rden@loc.gov>]

Following the call yesterday and based on a better understanding of faceted results I worked up a new example. Disregard the example I posted last week.

 

Consider the following query .....

 

Query:  "nuthatch"   Total records: 50

.... with the following facets:

 

-source
-subject
-author
-date

 -source
      Library of Congress Catalog (10)
      MELVYL (8)

 -subject
Birds (15)
Nuthatches (12)
Sitta carolinensis (4)

 -author
Deignan, H. G (2)
Dunbar, Catherine (1)
Audubon, John James (1)
Davies, Melvyn (1)
Pravosudov, Vladimir V (1)


 -date
2007 (5)
2006 (3)
1993 (2)
1979 (1)
1903 (1)

---------------------------------------

 

Based on this example I have sketched XML to represent the faceted results, at http://www.loc.gov/standards/sru/nuthatch.xml

 

Please look this over and comment.
