Embodiment Construction

[0023]FIG. 1 shows the process by which data is licensed 1 or stored from various sources. The data can be sourced from various places across the internet and stored on servers locally. Data that is then accessed upon initiation of a user search which calls information based on a specific product. This data is then structured and organized 2 based on structured category mapping and product-to-listing mapping that examine data structure and tags as they relate to product categories. The structured data is fed into an analytical engine 3. Categories are sub-divided by products with tables of product attributes providing the final structure. Data aggregation and site development including an embodiment that presents data, photographs and allows for search functionality 4 provide the final user interface for this process.

[0024]FIG. 2 presents the overview of the process for both product-to-listing mapping (45 as represented by the subset in FIG. 2 of 36 through 43) as well as the enhanc...
