  • By drawing on a variety of sources, including personal correspondence with Brian Vickery, this paper draws upon a socio-historical approach in order to provide a platform for continued conversations among facet theorists and those who seek to create faceted applications. Once common ground is established, it is but a small step to the creation of operational definitions and functional requirements as Slavic (2008) and others have discussed. With variant terminology under control, facet theorists can move quickly to identify and promote exemplars of best practice for those seeking to implement facets as search and discovery structures in contemporary information spaces.
