  • at least one processor, andmemory including instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising;

    displaying a listing of items in an item data display area on a display of a device, the listing of items including item data corresponding to each respective item in the listing of items, the item data display area simultaneously including an image data region containing a representation of image data corresponding to the item data and a metadata region containing a representation of metadata corresponding to the item data;

    receiving, in the metadata region, an indication of a touch on a touch-enabled screen of the device that indicates a selection of a date facet of the item data displayed among multiple facets in the metadata region, the date facet denoting a temporal indicator, other facets of the multiple facets denoting non-temporal indicators;

    receiving an indication of a pinch gesture including a pinch-in gesture in the metadata region;

    scaling, responsive to the touch and the pinch gesture, the date facet to produce a scaled-facet listing, the scaling comprising;

    modifying a degree of a characteristic of the date facet in an increasing amount responsive to the pinch-in gesture including producing a scaled-out listing implemented as an updated portion of the item data having a later temporal indicator than an initial display of the item data by an amount proportional to a magnitude of a pinch gesture characteristic corresponding to the pinch-in gesture; and

    displaying the scaled-facet listing in the metadata region by exposing an updated set of the item data having the modified degree of the characteristic and replacing previous item data with the scaled-out listing within the scaled-data display area.
