ABSTRACT

A fundamental data integration task faced by online commercial portals and commerce search engines is the

integration of products coming from multiple providers to their product catalogs. The commercial portal has

its own taxonomy , while each data provider organizes its products into a different taxonomy.Categorizing

products from the data providers into the master taxonomy, while making use of the provider taxonomy

information. Our approach is based on a taxonomy-aware processing step.The results of a text-based classifier

to ensure that products that are close together in the provider taxonomy remain close in the master taxonomy.
