www.clarin.eu Purpose/Use Cases • Allow faceted browsing based on cmdi metadata. Provide simple and easy access to resources Faceted Browsing: Intuitive searchable and browse-able interface, based around facets. Facets are aspects of the data that is searchable:
www.clarin.eu Faceted Browser in VLO
www.clarin.eu Issues • Based on IMDI metadata not CMDI • Cannot get to resources quickly • Very unstable and slow
www.clarin.eu 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

www.clarin.eu 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: http://www.clarin.eu/vlo/ • Until then please visit: http://catalog.clarin.eu/ds/vlo/ • Questions/Remarks sent to: cmdi@clarin.eu
