Systems and methods for optimizing normalization of product attributes for a webpage of an online retailer

A method comprising:

• defining a domain specific language to extract structured values of one or more product attributes of a plurality of products from raw source values of a plurality of vendor data sheets received by an online retailer;
• extracting the structured values of the one or more product attributes from the raw source values of the plurality of vendor data sheets;
• obtaining a plurality of normalization rules for use on a webpage of the online retailer and also for transforming the structured values to final normalized values, the plurality of normalization rules based on the structured values of the one or more product attributes as extracted with the domain specific language;
• normalizing the structured values by adding the domain specific language to a runtime normalization process comprising the plurality of normalization rules to obtain the final normalized values for the structured values;
• persisting the final normalized values in a catalog of the online retailer;
• and
• coordinating a first display of the final normalized values on the webpage of the online retailer on an electronic device of a user such that when one or more of the final normalized values are selected on the first display by the user of the online retailer, the plurality of products are automatically filtered on the webpage according to the one or more of the final normalized values as selected.

A system comprising:

• one or more processing modules;
• and
• one or more non-transitory storage modules storing computing instructions configured to run on the one or more processing modules and perform acts of:
• extracting, with a domain specific language, structured values of one or more product attributes of a plurality of products from raw source values of a plurality of vendor data sheets received by an online retailer;
• obtaining a plurality of normalization rules for use on a webpage of the online retailer and also for transforming the structured values to final normalized values, the plurality of normalization rules based on the structured values of the one or more product attributes as extracted with the domain specific language;
• optimizing the domain specific language to reduce the number of a plurality of normalization rules used in a runtime normalization process;
• normalizing the structured values by adding the domain specific language to the runtime normalization process comprising the plurality of normalization rules to obtain the final normalized values for the structured values;
• persisting the final normalized values in a catalog of the online retailer;
• and
• coordinating a first display of the final normalized values on the webpage of the online retailer on an electronic device of a user such that when one or more of the final normalized values are selected on the first display by the user of the online retailer, the plurality of products are automatically filtered on the webpage according to the one or more of the final normalized values as selected.
