8 Conclusions
We have presented an approach for browsing and searching data collections based
on an extended data model that supports the configuration of a synchronised
tag cloud browser for a domain of choice and we have illustrated its use through
a publication browser. The generation of the browser is automated and its con-
figuration is a mix of developer configuration using the extended SQL syntax,
system default behaviour and user selection. We are also planning a user study
to compare our approach to regular web search interfaces as well as faceted
browsers.
