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 Light

Facetmap Light is our free reference implementation of Facetmap, an engine that holds your facetmap data in memory and queries it during each user request. This system performs well but is unable to scale to enterprise applications. It's ideal for demonstrations and proofs of concept, as well as production environments with a few thousand resources and a few facets. Spectrum facets are not supported in Facetmap Light.

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 1.2 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 facetmap.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 facetmap.war

Integration:

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