in reply to Representing the result of a node search in HTML

Maybe you can take a look at the MeSH browser of PubMed. It's fairly intuitive, anybody who can click can use that browser. If you click on a child with multiple parents, you get a list of those parents so that you can go upwards again.

You can find it here (example purely coincidence).

    Thanks for pointing that one out. And that would work fine for focus on one node, except that the result of a search will be perhaps many distinct nodes, some of which will share parentage, and some of which will have distinct parentage. That darn "0 or more but usually 1" parent thing gets in the way.

    And yes, I agree with perrin on this one, but the client has chosen to mix links of both "is-like-a" and "contains-a" in the same syntax net. Ugh.
