Abstract
A system receives a request for item data from a stored data set. The request may include a specified context for providing the item data. The stored data set includes an item, at least one common item attribute, a value for each of the common item attributes, and at least one context item attribute. The system provides the requested item data. The provided item data includes context attribute values for the specified context and common attribute values for attributes that are not in the specified context attributes.
Claims21
A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to retrieve data, the retrieving comprising:
- receiving a request for item data from a stored data set, the request including a specified context for providing the item data, wherein the stored data set comprises an item, at least one common item attribute, a value for each of the common item attributes, and at least one context item attribute for a first context;
- and
- providing the requested item data, wherein the item data includes for each provided item, context attribute values for the specified context and common attribute values for attributes in each item's common attributes that are not in the context attributes.
A computer implemented method for retrieving data, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a computer system, a request for item data from a stored data set, the request including a specified context for providing the item data, wherein the stored data set comprises an item, at least one common item attribute, a value for each of the common item attributes, and at least one context item attribute for a first context;
- and
- providing, by the computer system, the requested item data, wherein the item data includes for each provided item, context attribute values for the specified context and common attribute values for attributes in each item's common attributes that are not in the context attributes.
A system that retrieves data, the system comprising:
- a receiving module to receive a request for item data from a stored data set, wherein the request includes a specified context for providing the item data, and wherein the stored data set comprises an item, at least one common item attribute, a value for each of the common item attributes, and at least one context item attribute for a first context;
- and
- a providing module to provide the requested item data, wherein the item data includes for each provided item, context attribute values for the specified context and common attribute values for attributes in each item's common attributes that are not in the context attributes.
