Abstract

See full text

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to catalog modeling for e-commerce systems and provide a method, system and computer program product for an adaptive unified retail catalog. In an embodiment of the invention, an e-commerce data processing system can be configured for catalog adaptation. The system can include an adaptive retail catalog, a logical catalog implementation of a logical catalog model coupled to the adaptive retail catalog, and a physical catalog coupled to the adaptive retail catalog through a database mediator. The system further includes a mapping of search requests against the logical catalog implementation to the physical catalog. In this way, changes to the underlying physical catalog model can be accommodated without requiring a companion change in the logical catalog model.
