A Graphical Interface for Conceptually Navigating Faceted Thesauri

This paper describes a graphical interface for the navigation and construction of faceted thesauri that is based on formaJ concept analysis. Each facet of a thesaulUs is represented as a mathematical lattice that is further subdivided into components. Users can graphically navigate through the Java implementation of the interface by clicking on terms that connect facets and components. Since there are many applications fOf thesauri in the knowledge representation field, such a graphical interface has the potential of being very useful.
