A unique product ID corresponding to the product associated with each groups to identify the product. Assigning each identified product a category in a taxonomy. Finding attributes in the product information records corresponding to the group for each product. Creating product specifications, based on the attributes for each product, and storing each product specification in the taxonomy at the products assigned category to create a catalog (26).
