Abstract
An online system maintains a catalog of items and allows client applications to access variations of items from the catalog. A particular variation of items of the catalog is referred to as a catalog surface. The online system determines a catalog surface corresponding to a request for items received from a client application. The system identifies attribute values of the requested items that correspond to the catalog surface. Different client applications can access different variations of the attribute value for the same item corresponding to different catalog surfaces. The system maintains a surface-to-surface mapping to process data for sparsely populated catalog surfaces. If attribute values for a sparse catalog surface are not available, the system identifies an alternate catalog surface from the surface-to-surface mapping and uses values from the alternate catalog surface.
