System and method for managing shared collections

Abstract

This document describes, among other things, systems and methods for managing shared collections. A method comprises receiving, by a network-based commerce system, an indication from a client device to create a collection; receiving, by the network-based commerce system, a textual description of the collection from the client computer; automatically classifying the textual description into one or more elements; and storing the collection as one or more classified elements in the network-based commerce system.

1 . A method comprising:
 causing generation of a user interface on a client device, the generation of the user interface including generation of one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing an entry representing a product, an input via a selectable input user interface element causing generation of a request to edit the entry;   receiving the request to edit the entry from the client device via the user interface;   determining, using one or more hardware processors, that the entry is editable based on the request to edit the entry received from the client device; and   
       receiving edited information pertaining to the entry via the one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing the entry. 
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the edited information is received as a free-form textual description, the method further comprising:
 forming structured data based on parsing and deconstructing the free-form textual description.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining that the entry is editable includes:
 determining that a user associated with the client device is authorized to edit the entry.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the request to edit the entry is a first request, the method further comprising:
 receiving a second request to edit the entry from a second client device via a user interface of the second device;   determining that a user associated with the second request is restricted from editing the entry based on a status of the user; and   causing display of a message in the user interface of the second device, the message indicating that the user associated with the second request is restricted from editing the entry.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the determining that the entry is editable based on the request to edit the entry received from the client device includes:
 determining that the user associated with the request is a seller of the product.   
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 updating the entry based on the edited information pertaining to the entry received via the one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing the entry.   
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more selectable input user interface elements are operable to edit one or more entries representing a collection of products. 
     
     
         8 . A system comprising:
 one or more hardware processors; and   a non-transitory machine-readable medium for storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:   causing generation of a user interface on a client device, the generation of the user interface including generation of one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing an entry representing a product, an input via a selectable input user interface element causing generation of a request to edit the entry;   receiving the request to edit the entry from the client device via the user interface;   determining that the entry is editable based on the request to edit the entry received from the client device; and   receiving edited information pertaining to the entry via the one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing the entry.   
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the edited information is received as a free-form textual description, the method further comprising:
 forming structured data based on parsing and deconstructing the free-form textual description.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the determining that the entry is editable includes:
 determining that a user associated with the client device is authorized to edit the entry.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the request to edit the entry is a first request, the method further comprising:
 receiving a second request to edit the entry from a second client device via a user interface of the second device;   determining that a user associated with the second request is restricted from editing the entry based on a status of the user; and   causing display of a message in the user interface of the second device, the message indicating that the user associated with the second request is restricted from editing the entry.   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the determining that the entry is editable based on the request to edit the entry received from the client device includes:
 determining that the user associated with the request is a seller of the product.   
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 updating the entry based on the edited information pertaining to the entry received via the one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing the entry.   
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more selectable input user interface elements are operable to edit one or more entries representing a collection of products. 
     
     
         15 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more hardware processors, cause the one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
 causing generation of a user interface on a client device, the generation of the user interface including generation of one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing an entry representing a product, an input via a selectable input user interface element causing generation of a request to edit the entry;   receiving the request to edit the entry from the client device via the user interface;   determining that the entry is editable based on the request to edit the entry received from the client device; and   receiving edited information pertaining to the entry via the one or more selectable input user interface elements for editing the entry.   
     
     
         16 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the edited information is received as a free-form textual description, the method further comprising:
 forming structured data based on parsing and deconstructing the free-form textual description.   
     
     
         17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the determining that the entry is editable includes:
 determining that a user associated with the client device is authorized to edit the entry.   
     
     
         18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the request to edit the entry is a first request, the method further comprising:
 receiving a second request to edit the entry from a second client device via a user interface of the second device;   determining that a user associated with the second request is restricted from editing the entry based on a status of the user; and   causing display of a message in the user interface of the second device, the message indicating that the user associated with the second request is restricted from editing the entry.   
     
     
         19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the determining that the entry is editable based on the request to edit the entry received from the client device includes:
 determining that the user associated with the request is a seller of the product.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of  claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
