Tagging of facet elements in a facet tree
First Claim
1. A server computer for returning a tagged facet tree to an end user who is only authorized to access an authorized portion of a facet tree, the server computer comprising:
- a memory, wherein the memory stores program instructions; and
a processor connected to the memory, wherein the processor executes the program instructions to;
receive, at the server computer, the facet tree from a facet tree database;
acquire, from a rules database connected to the server computer, rules applicable to the facet tree based on a characteristic of the end user;
apply the rules to the facet tree before presentation to the end user on a user interface such that only the authorized portion of the facet tree is displayed to the end user and only a tagging scenario that is applicable to the characteristic of the end user is displayed to the end user;
make the tagging scenario available to the end user at a user interface connected to the server computer;
apply the tagging scenario to tag elements in the facet tree for the end user in accordance with the tagging scenario in response to the end user indicating that the tagging scenario is to be applied to the authorized portion of the facet tree;
return the tagged facet tree to the end user at the user interface when the tagging has been populated;
wherein the end user validates or invalidates the tagged facet tree;
wherein the facet tree is a categorization scheme for a plurality of hierarchically structured data and content records where a plurality of facets and a plurality of facet elements of the facet tree guide a search; and
wherein the tagging links the facet or facet element to another facet or facet element or links a data record to a facet element.

Abstract
Returning a tagged facet tree to an end user who is only authorized to access an authorized portion of the facet tree is provided. A facet tree is received from a facet tree database. A first rule for the facet tree and a second rule for a plurality of tagging scenarios based on a characteristic of the end user is acquired. The first rule is applied to the facet tree before presentation to the end user on a user interface such that only the authorized portion of the facet tree is displayed to the end user. The second rule is applied to the plurality of tagging scenarios such that only a tagging scenario that is applicable to the characteristic of the end user is displayed to the end user. The tagging scenario is made available to the end user at a user interface.

2. A computer program product for returning a tagged facet tree to an end user who is only authorized to access an authorized portion of a facet tree, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a server computer to cause the server computer to:
-
receive, at the server computer, the facet tree from a facet tree database; acquire, from a rules database connected to the server computer, rules applicable to the facet tree based on a characteristic of the end user; apply the rules to the facet tree before presentation to the end user on a user interface such that only the authorized portion of the facet tree is displayed to the end user and only a tagging scenario that is applicable to the characteristic of the end user is displayed to the end user; make the tagging scenario available to the end user at a user interface connected to the server computer; apply the tagging scenario to tag elements in the facet tree for the end user in accordance with the tagging scenario in response to the end user indicating that the tagging scenario is to be applied to the authorized portion of the facet tree; return the tagged facet tree to the end user at the user interface when the tagging has been populated; wherein the end user validates or invalidates the tagged facet tree; wherein the facet tree is a categorization scheme for a plurality of hierarchically structured data and content records where a plurality of facets and a plurality of facet elements of the facet tree guide a search; and wherein the tagging links the facet or facet element to another facet or facet element or links a data record to a facet element.
