Yes, you can play with some crude VuFind demos here:

Doing an author search will give you recommendations from Identities, and doing a subject search will give you recommendations from Terminologies.  I don't claim that the interface is very pretty, and the terminologies results are sometimes rather weird due to the lack of relevance ranking -- but hopefully this serves as a test of concept, and feedback is welcome.
