Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to explain the underlying mathematical structure of faceted taxonomy-based sources and to provide some common notions and notations that are used in some parts of the book. Subsequently, and on the basis of the introduced formalism, this chapter describes the interaction between a user and an information source that supports dynamic taxonomies and faceted search.
