Another Kind of Facet?

["LeVan,Ralph" <levan@oclc.org>]

I have failed in my first application of facets.  I understand that what I’m trying to do is outside of what we designed for, but I’m looking for opinions as to whether we need to extend the current facet design to accommodate my problem.

 

I have an SRW database that does a federated search across a number of other SRW databases and returns a single response.  But, I would like to return the counts and SRU URLs for the component databases.  There is no way to pass such information through the current facet interface.

 

Opinions are welcome!

 

Thanks!
