PaperThin CommonSpot Program Addresses MX Developer Needs

Native Taxonomy and Facet-Based Navigation Support Now Available

Dec. 17, 2005 03:00 PM

The taxonomy API allows developers to programmatically access any of the terms and relationships within a taxonomy. This capability enables easy development of unlimited custom-interfaces to related content.

CommonSpot’s new facet-based navigation element leverages content classification by allowing users to intuitively navigate through a defined taxonomy. Users can easily browse and discover information within topic areas based on one or more selected facets within a taxonomy.

By narrowing terms under a facet, a filtered subset of narrower terms and possibly other related ‘see-also’ references are presented. Facet-based navigation dramatically enhances the user experience and facilitates a faster information discovery process by only displaying content that is relevant to the user.

Also included in version 4.6 is a container element which provides Web designers and developers increased control and flexibility over the positioning and scheduling of content on a page. The element delivers support for table-less layout of content using Cascading Style Sheet Positioning (CSS-P). It provides a number of benefits to organizations including standards-based development, improved site compliance, and direct support for publishing content to non-Web devices such as PDAs, phones, etc.

PaperThin CommonSpot Program Addresses MX Developer Needs

MXDJ News Desk wrote: 'The overload of data on many Web sites today makes managing content a cumbersome process,' said Todd Peters, founder and president of PaperThin. 'At the same time, visitors to a site often find it difficult to access information that is pertinent to them. Our new taxonomy functionality addresses these inefficiencies by allowing organizations to easily classify and manage their content. And, it gives users the ability to intuitively ?find and discover? information within subject areas. We believe this functionality further differentiates PaperThin in the marketplace and will deliver real business value to our customers.'
