Hello Stephane,
do you know Ontowiki [1]? It's a PHP application (built with Zend
Framework) which is mainly aimed at collaborative ontology engineering
(but you can use it as framework to do other stuff as well). It have its
own data layer (named Erfurt, currently not singly released) which work
with different stores and if I'm correct informed it's theoretically
possible to connect other parsers (like ARC2).
Facetted browsing is possible with Ontowiki, you may test it yourself
with the online demo [2]. If you have further questions the dev
team/community is very helpful [3].
