Abstract:
The unplanned dumping of information on WWW is the primary reason for the chaotic web
of today. The way out of this WEB (in literal sense) seems to be only through planned
organization of the burgeoning sources of information using faceted techniques. The role
of XFML i.e. eXchangeable faceted metadata language gets defined in this context. The
metadata language allows one to relate the topics of concern and to provide a meaningful
way of accessing information. This paper tries to explore its nuances and suitability for
defining distributed information architecture.
