• a leaf category level of the plurality of hierarchical levels comprises a leaf category node;
• the leaf category node includes product information;
• the product information comprises a plurality of product attribute parameters;
• and
• the plurality of product attribute parameters comprises standard product information;
• selecting, among the plurality of product attribute parameters that correspond to the leaf category node, a representative product attribute parameter that is representative of the product information;
• and
• partitioning standard product information of the leaf category node to obtain a plurality of sets using the representative product attribute parameter, wherein each of the plurality of sets includes at least some of the standard product information.
