Faceted Browser in VLO
Issues Based on IMDI metadata not CMDI Cannot get to resources quickly Very unstable and slow
New VLO Faceted Browser Data analyzed is CMDI format Currently IMDI, OLAC and LRT cimdified metadata Stability issue solved and performance improved You can get to resources directly from search results
Demo
Still to come… A faceted browser is as good as its data, so curation steps are needed Add more CMDI metadata Add some more facets e.g.: year We are going to replace the old faceted browser so it will be available from the VLO: Until then please visit: Questions/Remarks sent to:
