We integrate heterogeneous terminologies into our category-theoretic model of faceted browsing and show that existing terminologies and vocabularies can be reused as facets in a cohesive, interactive system. Commonly found in online search engines and digital libraries, faceted browsing systems depend upon one or more taxonomies which outline the structure and content of the facets available for user interaction. Controlled vocabularies or terminologies are often curated externally and are available as a reusable resource across systems. We demonstrated previously that category theory can abstractly model faceted browsing in a way that supports the development of interfaces capable of reusing and integrating multiple models of faceted browsing. We extend this model by illustrating that terminologies can be reused and integrated as facets across systems with examples from the biomedical domain. Furthermore, we extend our discussion by exploring the requirements and consequences of reusing existing terminologies and demonstrate how categorical operations can create reusable groupings of facets.
我们将异构术语集成到我们的分面浏览范畴论模型中，并表明现有的术语和词汇表可以作为分面在一个连贯的交互式系统中重复使用。分面浏览系统常见于在线搜索引擎和数字图书馆中，它依赖于一个或多个分类法，这些分类法勾勒出可供用户交互的分面的结构和内容。受控词汇表或术语通常是在外部策划的，并且可以作为跨系统的可重复使用资源。我们之前已经证明，范畴论可以以一种支持开发能够重用和集成多个分面浏览模型的接口的方式，对分面浏览进行抽象建模。我们通过展示来自生物医学领域的示例来说明术语可以作为跨系统的分面进行重用和集成，从而扩展了这个模型。此外，我们通过探索重用现有术语的要求和后果来扩展我们的讨论，并展示范畴操作如何创建可重复使用的分面分组。
