Abstract
Systems and methods for organizing structured items in an e-commerce system are presented. In some aspects, the systems and methods may include a back-end structured item organizing system associated with a front-end category mapping system which is configured to process use case requests. In some aspects, a use case request may identify an item for classification by the back-end structured organizing system. In some aspects, the described systems and methods may select a listing bucket from a set of listing buckets of the back-end structured organizing system based on attribute values indicated in the use case request, and may cause a user interface of the front-end category mapping system to display one or more characteristics associated with items categorized within the selected listing bucket.

A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving, from a client device by at least one server application module of a server system, a request to list an item in an online marketplace;
- receiving, from the client device by the at least one server application module of the server system, a first set of one or more item attributes associated with the item;
- classifying the item, by the at least one server application module of the server system based at least in part on the request and the first set of one or more item attributes, within a first back-end category of a plurality of back-end categories of the online marketplace;
- automatically populating an item listing for the item, by the at least one server application module of the server system, with a second set of one or more item attributes based at least in part on the first set of one or more item attributes, the first back-end category, or both;
- and
- publishing the item listing to a user interface associated with the online marketplace.
A server system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the server system to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, from a client device by at least one server application module of the server system, a request to list an item in an online marketplace;
- receiving, from the client device by the at least one server application module of the server system, a first set of one or more item attributes associated with the item;
- classifying the item, by the at least one server application module of the server system based at least in part on the request and the first set of one or more item attributes, within a first back-end category of a plurality of back-end categories of the online marketplace;
- automatically populating an item listing for the item, by the at least one server application module of the server system, with a second set of one or more item attributes based at least in part on the first set of one or more item attributes, the first back-end category, or both;
- and
- publishing the item listing to a user interface associated with the online marketplace.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause a server system to:
- receive, from a client device by at least one server application module of the server system, a request to list an item in an online marketplace;
- receive, from the client device by the at least one server application module of the server system, a first set of one or more item attributes associated with the item;
- classify the item, by the at least one server application module of the server system based at least in part on the request and the first set of one or more item attributes, within a first back-end category of a plurality of back-end categories of the online marketplace;
- automatically populate an item listing for the item, by the at least one server application module of the server system, with a second set of one or more item attributes based at least in part on the first set of one or more item attributes, the first back-end category, or both;
- and
- publish the item listing to a user interface associated with the online marketplace.
