Your Home for Faceted Classification Tools
Facetmap is both a data model and a software package, created to let users browse complex metadata while retaining a simple, familiar, menu interface.

Play at Home: Download Facetmap Gold

Facetmap Gold ($799) adds stronger Facetmap libraries to the basic Light installation. Facet data is precompiled into a database table (SQL database required) for faster filtering at request time. Facetmap Gold can handle tens of thousands of resources in many facets, and gives you the most facet navigation power per dollar of any package available. It also supports spectrum facets so your users can specify their own ranges in numerical facets.

This software requires a license, which can be purchased at Kagi, our vendor site. You may also obtain a free trial license or test your own set of faceted data on our Facetmap Gold Demo Server. Alternatively, you can explore Facetmap by installing our free implementation, Facetmap Light.

If for any reason these alternatives do not provide an ample opportunity to assess Facetmap Gold, write to us and we can accommodate your needs.

Clicking the "I Accept the License" indicates that you have read, and that you accept, the terms of the Facetmap software license.

Installation:

The software is distributed as a WAR (web archive) file. It requires Java 1.4 or better, and a Java web application server. Your web application server has a directory where it expects to find WARs (for example, Tomcat looks for WARs in ./webapps/ ). Download facetmapgold.war and place it in that directory, then restart your web application server.

Configuration:

Follow the "Configure" link in the web app to set configuration parameters. These parameters are stored in the WEB-INF/configuration.properties file, which you can edit directly as an alternative to using the web configuration screen.

You must unpack the file to make any changes. Most servers will unpack the archive for you when they detect it. If yours doesn't, go to the directory where you placed the file, and enter: jar xf facetmapgold.war

Integration:

Facetmap has been designed for easy integration with existing Java applications. See the Java API.
