| Abstract: |
Purpose – This paper seeks to discuss the possibility of reviving browsing as an access framework in the midst of the "single search box" phenomenon. Design/methodology/approach – The paper provides an overview of recent trends in the implementation of "single search" products and contrasts this with the emergence of the Linked Open Data framework. Findings – The paper suggests that the Linked Open Data framework will provide an important platform for reviving browsing as an alternative to searching in information systems. Originality/value – The paper aims to stimulate further discussion about the relative importance of browsing and searching, as well as about the implementation of the Linked Open Data framework.
