TL;DR
The proposed framework adapts the facet analysis theory from Faceted Classification System to use semantic web tools especially XML and RDF store, and ontology, and is designed to be integrated within a Content Management System (CMS).
Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop and implement a faceted classification structure to improve web information organization, access and navigability.

Faceted metadata for image search and browsing
904 Citations2003Ka-Ping Yee, Kirsten Swearingen +2 more
An alternative based on enabling users to navigate along conceptual dimensions that describe the images is presented, which makes use of hierarchical faceted metadata and dynamically generated query previews.
Reexamining the cluster hypothesis
828 Citations1996Marti A. Hearst, Jan Pedersen
This work systematically evaluates Scatter/Gather in this context and finds significant improvements over similarity search ranking alone and provides evidence validating the cluster hypothesis which states that relevant documents tend to be more similar to each other than to non-relevant documents.

The results indicate that a Kohonen self-organizing map (SOM)-based algorithm can successfully categorize a large and eclectic Internet information space into manageable sub-spaces that users can successfully navigate to locate a homepage of interest to them.

DynaCat is presented, a tool that dynamically categorizes search results into a hierarchical organization by using knowledge of important kinds of queries and a model of the domain terminology to help users find answers to important types of questions more quickly and easily.

89 Citations2000Marti A. Hearst
A new way to support task-based site search is to dynamically present appropriate metadata that organizes the search results and suggests what to look at next, as a personalized intermixing of search and hypertext.

67 Citations2001Vanda Broughton
The philosophy and function of BC2 are described, as is the process of building a knowledge structure on facet analytical principles, with emphasis on the problems of complex subject description and retrieval and multidimensionality.

37 Citations1992Peter Ingwersen, Irene Wormell
Though Ranganathan's criterion of helpful sequence and other aspects of his methodology may have limitations when applied to areas other than subject classification, his principles for knowledge organization and faceted methodology are likely to find applications in cognitive modellind, neural natwork tehniques and patterns recognition.

26 Citations2000David Ellis, Ana Cristina Vasconcelos
Use of facet analysis to structure hypertext concept structures is outlined in relation to work on development of hypertext knowledge bases for designers of learning materials and construction of knowledge based hypertext interfaces.
Utilizing Faceted Structures for Information Systems Design.
24 Citations1999Uta Priss, Elin Jacob
This paper argues for the use of a faceted thesaurus as the basis for organizing a small-scale institutional website and contends that a faceting approach to knowledge organization can make the process of organization less random and more manageable.
