Filed:

Sep 29, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/537446

Inventors:

Walter M. Tseng - Seattle WA, US
Martin R. Frank - Bainbridge Island WA, US
Michel L. Goldstein - Bellevue WA, US

Assignee:

Amazon Technologies, Inc. - Seattle WA

International Classification:

G06F 15/00

US Classification:

706 62

Abstract:

A system is described which allows a user to define a relational tag. The relational tag describes how a first item is related to a second item within an identified qualifying context. For instance, the relational tag may state that the first item is ranked higher than or lower than the second item. When utilized by many users, the system forms a graph of interconnected items. The system can perform comparative analysis within this graph. For instance, based on the relational tags, the system can determine which item is the top-ranking item or bottom-ranking item within the graph.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/00

US Classification:

705 271, 705 261, 705 37, 705 39, 705 40, 705 50, 7071041, 707100

Abstract:

Collaborative structured tagging enables a community of users to define different types of tags for online content. The diverse tag types provide a non-flat or dimensional tagging data structure that supports navigation and search for content, as well as comparison of the content. In one implementation, the collaborative structured tagging is employed in an item encyclopedia that offers community-authored information on various items in one or more electronic catalogs. In this context, the collaborative structured tagging facilitates comprehensive cross-product comparison and dimensional product navigation.

G06F 8/60

Abstract:

A system, such as a system of a computing resource service provider, detects changes to a pipeline template package that encodes information associated with application code and infrastructure that may be utilized as part of deploying the application code in stages of a pipeline. An infrastructure template that is usable to provision an execution environment may be generated for a corresponding stage of the development, and may be utilized as part of a process for provisioning an execution environment which may, for example, run tests to verify the quality of the application code.
