Interface GeographyFacet

All Superinterfaces:

Facet, TaxonomyFacet

public interface GeographyFacet
extends TaxonomyFacet

Intended for geographical coordinate browsing. If you just wanted to create a hierarchy of cities in states in countries, you could use a TaxonomyFacet. The GeographyFacet is for more geographical-based queries that may involve a bounding box -- a rectangular map. Zooming in and out on the map is supported.

You may also define Headings, for cities and such, because this is a TaxonomyFacet as well. Defining them as GeographyHeadings allows them to be included in coordinate queries.
