Catalogues

Creation of electronic catalogue (purchase or sale)

starting from a paper source
and/or of multiple electronic sources (files suppliers / files product and service file from subsidiary companies or merged companies...)
analysis of these files (use of BSR semantic tool)
- comparison of these files
- harmonization, improvement, coding
- structuring and concatenation.

Mapping of catalogues
- For each entry of a catalogue, list of entries of the other catalogues having the same significance or an approximate significance (and not simply entries having the same code or the same name).
- Of course certain entries can not have any corresponding entry in the other catalogues.

creation of a hierarchy (families, subfamilies...) and classification of the products and services (for example by mapping with a standardized nomenclature)
extraction of attribute. Example " boots green out of rubber T42 " becomes " boot " with the attributes:
matter: rubber
color: green
cut: 42
- not simply entries having the same code or the same name (search for identical character strings)
- but also those having the same significance or a very close one
improvement of the entries description
- truncated words
- abbreviations
- acronyms...
structuring of the catalogue
- creation of a hierarchy (families, subfamilies...) and classification of the products and services (for example by mapping with a standardized nomenclature)
- extraction of attribute. Example " green rubber boot S3 " becomes " boot " with the attributes:
  - material: rubber
  - color: green
  - size: 3
" XMLisation " of the catalogue
total or partial
extraction, in XML, of components of the catalogue...
- total or limited
- extraction, in XML, of catalogue components...

The accesses to the catalogues are generally done by:
- key word (in the language of the catalogue)
- and/or advance in a tree structure (family, subfamily...)
A complete alternative (or simply a complementary possibility) is the interrogation of the catalogues in English or French natural language "
- the user expresses his research by words or by a sentence, the BSR tool indicates the catalogue entries "semantically close" to the question
  - not only entries having the same character strings
  - but also entries having the same significance or a close significance (classified by descending order)
- the question can be put in a language different from the catalogue one (in French for English catalogues, or in English to question French catalogues)

Use of the BSR tool for the creation or the modification of catalogue entries:
to avoid the creation of doubled bloom
proposal for a positioning of the new entry (or the modified entry) in the existing tree structure
mapping of the new entry with catalogues or nomenclatures external.
- to avoid the creation of duplication entries
- proposal for a positioning of the new entry (or the modified entry) in the existing tree structure
- mapping of the new entry with catalogues or external nomenclatures.
