Stephane,
First off, many congratulations on the Drupal RDF work!
When it comes to facets over RDF, I've depended heavily on the SIMILE
Exhibit widget, along with the Exhibit JSON serializer plugin for ARC2.
It doesn't scale up to large graphs well at all, but if you can limit
the size of the graph it works very well.
