Jennifer Smith writes persuasively on the ease of using a faceted design for retrieving information. She works for ONEIS, a UK company that desogms and supports information management systems.
She makes the faceted approach sound easy - "When deploying a faceted system, you need to map out what information you have, who needs to access it and how they would want to find it. You then create the structure for representing that information using Types and Attributes."

Thanks for the link Gwen.
Whilst not underestimating the enormous complexities involved in some facet-based deployments, I do think the right tools make a world of difference in making it manageable.
In this presentation I illustrate how we go about setting up ONEIS for clients:

Thanks for the OpenDay presentations. You've illustrated the issues, process, and structure very nicely through wine in your findability presentation - making the role and application of attributes very clear - a tutorial in itself.
