> The World Bank uses predefined hierarchies for topics, document types, etc. 
> @mire has ported the controlled vocabularies (taxonomies) functionality to 
> the XMLUI, to represent these hierarchies. In addition, World Bank needs to 
> be able to optimally use these taxonomies as facets in Discovery. This 
> includes several challenges, such as when the hierarchical tree changes over 
> time (values are added, others removed or moved), situations can arise where 
> items contain hierarchical values which do no longer exist in the current 
> hierarchical tree.
> The World Bank is contributing the functionality for using taxonomies as 
> facets in Discovery.
> In DSpace 1.8 the search facets taxonomy values are listed sorted by the 
> number of items with that exact taxonomy value, regardless of where they are 
> in the tree. (Fig 1.).
> But this creates a problem as is displayed on Fig. 2
> In DSpace 1.8, the taxonomy facet:
> * Lists topics at any level of the tree next to each other
> * Shows number of items that are associated with one particular node in the 
> tree
> Problem:
> * This does not take hierarchical structure of the taxonomy into account
> * This is counter-intuitive: when you filter by a topic, items related to 
> subtopics are not displayed
> @mire has implemented an Improved taxonomy facet (Fig 3), contributed by the 
> World Bank:
> * Only lists topics at the top level of the tree in the navigation bar
> * Shows number of items that are associated with top level topic and any of 
> its sub-topics
> * If item contains multiple topics that have the same parent topic, the 
> parent topic is counted only once
> * Intuitive: when you filter by a topic, items related to subtopics are 
> automatically included
