Editor's Notes

  1. GUI Description: The following picture depict the browsing of a geospatial hierarchical facet. Any selection on the facet acts as a filter in GUI and can be easily removed at any time. Moreover, if a facet item is selected then all the children facet item is displayed in sorted order with document counts.
