1. In a computer system comprising at least one hardware processor and at least one tangible storage medium, a method of identifying elemental facet attribute relationships in a domain of information comprising a plurality of concepts, wherein the method comprises:
- identifying a plurality of concept relationships between pairs of concepts in the plurality of concepts;
identifying at least one facet attribute in each of at least some of the pairs of concepts;
based, at least in part, on the identified plurality of concept relationships, identifying a set of candidate facet attribute relationships between the facet attributes in the at least some of the pairs of concepts; and
determining whether to include a candidate facet attribute relationship from the set of candidate facet attribute relationships in a modified set of candidate facet attribute relationships based, at least in part, on the pervasiveness of the candidate facet attribute relationship.

Abstract
Automated facet analysis of input information selected from a domain of information in accordance with a source data structure is described. Facet analysis may proceed by discovering at least one of facets, facet attributes, and facet attribute hierarchies of the input information using pattern augmentation and statistical analyses to identify patterns of facet attribute relationships in the input information.
