Faceted Exploratory Search vs Faceted Metadata Search

As we have discussed in lecture today, about what could be the difference between Faceted Exploratory Search and Faceted Metadata Search, we did some research on this.

For Faceted Exploratory Search, in a paper by Markus Ueberall, it is implied that Faceted exploratory search is a combination of faceted method of tagging and classification with exploratory method of dynamically providing different user with different set of data. Hence, the result is that the user query will be an individualized result, that is classified into facets with tags and classifications for easy browsing.

This is usually done for cases where the results returned from exploratory search could be large, and the faceted method is hence used as a complementing feature to allow the user to arrive at their target even more efficiently.
