[Sigia-l] Faceted classification example

[Victor Lombardi]

This brings up some interesting possibilities for how we navigate this 
information. Category navigation is a combination of classification and 
user interface, so when we aggregate categories using XFML then we need to 
rethink the interface.

For example, I prefer Tanya's hand-crafted interface because it's custom 
designed to display her categories. Once we pull those into another 
interface something is lost. But I think XFML will make it easier for us to 
experiment with this, as opposed to hand-coding links to other sites every 
time we want to try out new UI ideas.
