Methods and systems to communicate information

A method comprising:

• receiving a first query, over a network, from a client machine, the first query containing a first constraint;
• retrieving a first plurality of data items from a database based on the first query, the first plurality of data items describing items being offered for sale on a network-based marketplace;
• generating a product distribution based on a domain structure, a count of data items from the first plurality of data items for each product domain in a first plurality of product domains that are used to identify data items and a count of requests to view data items from a second plurality of data items for each product domain in the first plurality of product domains, wherein the domain structure is based on domains identified in a mapping of selected categories of data items in sell-side data to domains in buy-side data,
• wherein the mapping is based on sell-side data to buy-side data association rules that identify domains as a function of mapping selected categories of data items in the sell-side data to domains in buy-side data
• wherein the sell-side data is associated with data items from the first plurality of data items and the buy-side data is associated with the requests to view data items from the second plurality of data items;
• identifying user interface information with a communication module, the identifying of the communication module comprising:
• identifying whether the product distribution exhibits a type of distribution from a plurality of types of distributions by comparing the product distribution with at least one of a peak distribution hills distribution, and flat distribution to identify user interface information to generate;
• generating interface information based on the type of distribution, wherein the user interface information includes at least one user interface element being positioned on the user interface based on the product distribution;
• and
• communicating a user interface, over the network, to the client machine, the user interface including the interface information.

A machine readable medium having no transitory signals and storing a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a first query, over a network, from a client machine, the first query containing a first constraint;
• retrieving a first plurality of data items from a database based on the first query, the first plurality of data items describing items being offered for sale on a network-based marketplace;
• generating a product distribution based on a domain structure, a count of data items from the first plurality of data items for each product domain in a first plurality of product domains that are used to identify data items, and a count of requests to view data items from a second plurality of data items for each product domain in the first plurality of product domains, wherein the domain structure is based on domains identified in a mapping of selected categories of data items in sell-side data to domains in buy-side data,
• wherein the mapping is based on sell-side data to buy-side data association rules that identify domains as a function of mapping selected categories of data items in the sell-side data to domains in buy-side data,
• wherein the sell-side data is associated with data items from the first plurality of data items and the buy-side data is associated with the requests to view data items from the second plurality of data items,
• identifying user interface information with a communication module, the identifying of the communication module comprising:
• identifying whether the product distribution exhibits a type of distribution from a plurality of types of distributions by comparing the product distribution with at least one of a peak distribution hills distribution, and flat distribution to identify user interface information to generate,
• generating interface information based on the type of distribution, wherein the user interface information includes at least one user interface element being positioned on the user interface based on the product distribution;
• and
• communicating a user interface, over the network, to the client machine, the user interface including the interface information.
