Abstract

Methods, systems and computer readable media are provided for accessing faceted information using ontologies. Information for an initial entity, including different ontologies to which the initial entity belongs, is retrieved. Entities within different ontologies are determined. The determined entities and different ontologies are displayed on a user interface to enable traversal of the different ontologies for viewing of the determined entities. Accordingly, a user may search for an initial entity. Different ontologies, linked to the initial entity may be returned. A user may select an ontology, and ontologies in which the initial entity belongs are displayed. The user may select any of the displayed ontologies to access other entities in the selected ontology.
