-The MoDisco facet component introduced the concept of "facet". A facet is a kind of virtual class extension. Those "virtual classes" will never have instances. An object can conform to a facet but can not be an instance of a facet.
-For example, assuming we have a class named Employee and two facets: "Manager" and "Developer". We will have a set of Employee instances and some of them will have the facet of "Manager" or "Developer".
-The goal of introducing the concept of facet is to be able to highlight some model elements as corresponding to a specific facet.
-The MoDisco facet feature allows describing and using facet. The description is done by editing a model and the use is done through an API. The main client of this API is the MoDisco browser.
