Abstract
A product database describing products and attributes associated with the products is identified. Some attributes have values including words. A dictionary including the words is identified. The dictionary is partitioned into synonym classes of words. A representative word from the dictionary is selected. Replacement rules are identified, each of which replace a target word with the target word's corresponding representative. For each product in the database, the replacement rules are applied to produce a standardized product database.
