9. Identify and Compare Trends Attribute values are visually presented in an explicit order (e.g., time)

10. Navigate between Related Items navigate further into related items whether or not filters have been exhausted Enabled by allowing items to be attributes of other items

11. Reveal Relationships Attribute co-occurrence Co-authorship Co-citations When an item can have multiple simultaneous values for the same facet

12. Scaling to Large Datasets All the attribute values often cannot fit in the allocated screen space
