== Retrieval == Search in systems with faceted classification can enable a user to navigate information along multiple paths corresponding to different orderings of the facets. This contrasts with traditional taxonomies in which the hierarchy of categories is fixed and unchanging.<ref name="Star, S.L. 1998">Star, S. L. (1998, Fall).
